Simien National Park is home to peaceful Gelada baboons. I was surprised at how close I could safely get to a mother suckling her child. Then again, whenever the baboons had a problem with me they would just move away.
The park is also home to ibex and foxes, among other wildlife, but the easiest thing to find is a view which reminded me at the time of the Grand Canyon. Except this one is greener.
The park is also the traditional home of people living in agrarian conditions. The people are friendly and quick to offer you their wares; I was only too happy to pay for a couple of photographs.
