is one of the national parks of Ethiopia. Located in the Semien (North) Gondar
Zone of the Amhara Region, its territory covers the Simien Mountains and
includes Ras Dashan, the highest point in Ethiopia.
Semien Mountains
It is home to a number of
endangered species, including the Ethiopian wolf and the Walia ibex, a wild
goat found nowhere else in the world. The gelada baboon and the caracal, a cat,
also occur within the Simien Mountains. More than 50 species of birds inhabit
the park, including the impressive bearded vulture, or lammergeyer, with its
10-foot (3m) wingspan.
The park is crossed by an
unpaved road which runs from Debarq, where the administrative headquarters of
the park is located, east through a number of villages to the Buahit Pass,
where the road turns south to end at Mekane Berhan, 10 kilometers beyond the
park”
