Established in 2016, Limalimo Lodge is the result of Shiferaw Asrat and Meles Yemata’s vision to bring sustainable and community focused tourism to Ethiopia’s Simien Mountains National Park.

Shiferaw and Meles both grew up in Debark, the gateway to the Simien Mountains. As mountain guides who in turn both set up their own trekking companies, supporting hundreds of visitors to see the beauty of the national park, they wanted to find a way to open up the benefits of tourism to households and communities within the park boundaries, as well as offer visitors an alternative way of experiencing the UNESCO listed site.

And so the concept of Limalimo Lodge was born.

With support from African Wildlife Capital and in partnership with the National Park, we set to work, designing a sustainable boutique lodge that would offer guests a natural and beautifully designed environment in which to explore the Simiens, open up tourism to a new corner of the national park, and benefit the surrounding communities.
