I had the privilege of visiting the Simien Mountains National Park in Ethiopia. The park is known for its unique wildlife, especially the gelada monkeys. These primates are only found in the Ethiopian Highlands and are known for their distinctive red chest patch. The park is also home to a number of endemic species, such as the Walia Ibex and the Ethiopian Wolf. The park's stunning scenery includes jagged mountain peaks and beautiful waterfalls. As I gazed upon the vast landscape, I was awestruck by the beauty of the untouched nature of this park. I feel truly blessed to have witnessed such a spectacular part of this world.
