Ethiopia - Simien Mountains

The Simien Mountains National Park is one of the most important parks of Ethiopia. The countryside is very beautiful, but the most fascinating are the Gelada Baboons. They are living in groups of 100 animals. It is possible to approach them very closely and to watch how they live on a distance of a few meters. The park can only be entered in company of an armed scout.

The baby baboons at 10:13 are especially nice.

We visited Ethiopia on our overland trip from the Netherlands to South Africa and South America; see our channel    / janvanbekkum   for hundreds of clips.
