-The lodge is located with a stunning view of the park. It has several options for short hikes of various difficulty levels, which depart from the lodge itself. Our guide found a troop of the monkeys five minutes into a hike from the lodge. There is a main dining room, terrace, and game room with a bar.
- Rooms are clean and minimalistic. They offer great views and blend in organically with the environment. Incredibly, we had a variety of monkeys swinging outside our room each morning! That being said, they're not built too soundly so you'll find bugs. Also, they get freezing in the winter and the bathroom floors are concrete, so pack warm clothing. The lodge offers hot water bottles for your bed at night, so definitely take them up on the offer. Hot water for showers is dependent on sunlight as they are solar powered.
- The meals provided are hearty, warm, and comfort food. Sample meals we had were potato pasta with ratatouille, beef goulash, and avocado toast. Probably for sanitation reasons, there were no salads or uncooked vegetables.
- Bring ample snacks for hiking and for downtime as the lodge only offers cookies and cakes as a snack. They're yummy, but frankly this becomes redundant and not the healthiest option quite quickly.
- The price is as steep as the cliffs you see out from their terrace. This lodge charges a rate that is very, very expensive for Ethiopia's current tourism scene. For such a high price, we certainly expected basics like working wifi and proper toiletries in the bathroom.
There are some amazing views from the terrace of this lodge and from your room. Beautiful place to stay after your hike or walk in the Simien Mountains. Food is good as well.
I visited in 2016 it was amazing place.

Simply perfect. It's hard to find the words to describe just how great this place is.
You'll find yourself in a serene setting unlike anything you can imagine.
From the kindness and attentiveness of the staff, the exceptional food, to** the luxurious comfort of the rooms and finally the lounge area/terrace that you'll never want to leave- it'll definitely be a place I visit again- for a longer stay I hope!
Tranquility in the sky. The views were spectacular. The hiking was mind expanding. The sounds of nature clear and crisp. The staff were like family. The rooms were an absolute delight. The nightly fires were of perfect warmth. I've never seen the stars so crisp or experienced a sunrise so chillingly inspiring. Limalimo Lodge was a dream come true. To all those to visit. Enjoy
Perfekte Lage mit Blick in den Nationalpark. Super freundliches Personal und schöne Zimmer.
