点评:I spent a full day in the Simien Mountains with Ras Dejen Ethiopia Trekking, and it was one of the most grounding and memorable experiences of my time in northern Ethiopia.
This was not a rushed or overly commercial tour. The day unfolded at a thoughtful pace, allowing space to absorb the landscape, the altitude, and the silence that defines this region. The scenery is vast and humbling — deep escarpments, rolling highlands, and an almost surreal sense of scale that photos don’t fully capture.
We encountered large groups of gelada baboons at close range, completely undisturbed and moving naturally through the terrain. It felt like observing life as it has existed here for centuries, rather than being “shown” wildlife.
Sammy was professional, flexible, and attentive throughout the planning and the day itself. Communication was clear, logistics were smooth, and the experience felt well cared for without being intrusive. Lunch was simple and well timed, and transport from Gondar was reliable and comfortable.
What stood out most was the balance — guidance when needed, and space when it mattered. That combination is rare and deeply appreciated, especially for travelers who value reflection and authenticity over checklists.
I would strongly recommend Ras Dejen Ethiopia Trekking to solo travelers and those seeking a meaningful, landscape-driven experience in the Simien Mountains rather than a scripted tour.

这并非一次匆忙或过度商业化的旅行。行程安排得十分舒缓,让人有充足的时间去感受这片土地的壮丽景色、高海拔以及它独有的静谧。这里的景色辽阔而令人敬畏——深邃的悬崖、绵延起伏的高原,以及照片难以完全捕捉的超现实的宏大感。
我们近距离遇到了大群的狮尾狒,它们完全没有受到干扰,自然地穿梭于这片土地。感觉就像是在观察几个世纪以来一直存在于此的生命,而不是被“展示”野生动物。
从行程规划到当天的安排,Sammy 都展现出了专业、灵活和细致周到的服务。沟通清晰,后勤安排顺畅,整个体验既周到又不失舒适。午餐简单而及时,从贡德尔出发的交通工具可靠且舒适。
最令人印象深刻的是平衡——需要指导时给予指导,需要独处时给予空间。这种平衡实属难得,尤其对于那些重视反思和真实体验而非行程安排的旅行者而言,更是弥足珍贵。
我强烈推荐拉斯德杰恩埃塞俄比亚徒步旅行团给独自旅行者以及那些渴望在西米恩山脉体验一段意义非凡、以自然景观为主导的旅程,而非参加既定旅行路线的旅行者。
