I've been lucky enough to hike around in the Simien Mountains on several occasions as well as climb Ras Dashen, Ethiopia's highest peak, twice. I wanted to recommend http://www.habeshaadventures.com to you guys as a great way to get to Ethiopia, learn about the culture, volunteer, and of course do some epic trekking.

Having just returned from a short trip to Luxor in Egypt I managed to escape the crazy downtown live and take a short climb up the above hill. It was not too strenuous, but was extremely hot work.

Thanks.
