Limalimo Lodge, Simien Mountains National Park
Simien Mountains National Park
Overview
The Simien stay international agencies already put on the moodboard: escarpment views, geladas, walking, and a room count that suits a true buy-out for a small leadership list.
We brief Limalimo Lodge as part of a meeting, incentive, conference or executive retreat — not as a consumer hotel checkout. Availability is on request from the Arusha desk, with Nairobi and Mauritius covering hub and island programmes.
Location
Limalimo Lodge sits in Simien Mountains National Park, Simien Mountains, Ethiopia. There is often no street address in the bush — the pin is the property name, the airstrip, or the hotel road in town.

Accommodation details
Occupancy limits
Occupancy is set with the rooming list. Intimate camps stay 8–24; hotel-scale bush lodges typically 150 sharing / 75 single.
Bed configurations
Doubles, twins and singles as the property actually holds them — we collect the rooming list before we lock the block. We do not invent a suite mix the lodge has not confirmed.
Room sizes
Published square metres are a consumer-hotel spec. We brief the category — tent, suite, villa or room — and any ground-floor or interconnecting need in the annex.
This stay is briefed when the list needs a working room as well as beds. Meeting-room capacity is confirmed on proposal — bush lodges are typically 80–120, not a 400-person plenary.
Services and amenities
What we actually brief for this stay. Paid extras, spa hours and meeting-room AV are confirmed in the proposal — not as a consumer extras menu.

Policies
Check-in and check-out
Hotel hours are confirmed when we contract the block. Typical city and beach houses use afternoon check-in and late-morning check-out; we request early or late as the diary needs it, subject to the hotel.
Cancellation
Cancellation follows the programme contract and the supplier behind this stay — not a one-line website percentage. Peak safari, gorilla lodges and island peak are the least flexible lines. Force majeure and airstrip clauses sit in the annex.
Children
Family rooms and interconnecting stock are requested with the rooming list. Age rules, cots and extra beds are confirmed with the hotel — not assumed from a brochure.
Pets
Not for MICE rooming lists unless the property and the brief both say otherwise. Service animals are a named conversation, not a website toggle.
Payment
Payment is through Serengeti Experience DMC as part of the programme invoice: a confirmation deposit to hold the block, staged supplier payments, and a final payment before arrival. This is not a consumer booking engine and we do not take card payments on this page.
Other terms
Limalimo Lodge is contracted subject to availability. Park fees, conservancy fees, gorilla permits and internal air are separate lines unless the proposal says they are included.
Planner notes
We do not publish star ratings or scraped guest reviews. Fit is scale, access and the operations annex — not a 4.8 average that we did not collect.
The Simien stay international agencies already put on the moodboard: escarpment views, geladas, walking, and a room count that suits a true buy-out for a small leadership list.
FAQs
How do groups reach Limalimo Lodge?
Access is written in the day-by-day. Ethiopia airports we actually use: Addis Ababa Bole International (ADD) — Primary international hub and Ethiopian Airlines base Lalibela (LLI) — Historic north — scheduled hops from ADD Gondar (GDQ) — Castles and Simien access Bahir Dar (BJR) — Lake Tana and Blue Nile
Can we hold a meeting at Limalimo Lodge?
A closed working session can sit here if the rooming list fits. Slide-heavy plenary belongs in Ethiopia city or beach inventory. The Simien stay international agencies already put on the moodboard: escarpment views, geladas, walking, and a room count that suits a true buy-out for a small leadership list.
When should we contract Limalimo Lodge?
October–January is the planner default for Lalibela and Simien. Addis meetings are year-round. Avoid stacking highland treks into June–September unless the group is flexible. Flagship safari and gorilla inventory still wants 12–18 months. City board nights can often be placed in 6–9 months.
Do you publish a nightly rate for Limalimo Lodge?
No. Availability and the commercial are on request through Serengeti Experience DMC as part of a meetings, incentive, conference or retreat programme. We will not invent a website price the lodge then contradicts.
Can we book Limalimo Lodge without a MICE programme?
This page is for incentive houses, corporate travel buyers and event planners contracting through Serengeti Experience DMC. We confirm the block, the rooming list and the operations annex together.
