Geech Camp & Imet Gogo
ግጭ / እመት ጎጎ
The most spectacular viewpoint in the Simien Mountains: a headland at 3,926 metres with cliffs on three sides and peaks and deep valleys stretching a thousand metres below.
Geech Camp sits in a meadow at about 3,600 metres and is the second or third night's camp on multi-day treks, with Geech eco-lodges nearby. From camp it takes about 2 to 3 hours to reach Imet Gogo, a headland jutting out from the plateau with near-vertical cliffs of almost 1,000 metres on three sides. Views extend over the lowland peaks and winding gorges, and it is considered the best viewpoint in the entire park. Gelada baboons and lammergeiers are often seen along the way. Be realistic about your fitness at this high altitude. The security situation in the Amhara region changes often, so check China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the latest safety advisory before you travel.
