Additional Information

The Bale Mountains National Park is an ideal space for nature and culture enthusiasts, wildlife observers, researchers, and those who adore walking, trekking, and hiking. This park is renowned for being a natural habitat for species like the Ethiopian wolf, mountain nyala, giant molerat, and Bale monkey. UNESCO projects that if the Bale Mountains’ habitats were to deteriorate, more mammal species risks extinction compared to any other equally sized area on earth. When considered alongside the park’s rare amphibian species, unique bird populations, and breathtaking flora, it’s clear why Conservation International labels the park as a Biodiversity Hotspot.

Incredible - we would 100% recommend to anyone who likes nature, hiking & experiencing new things - We had an incredible three days in the Bale Mountains with our guide Mohamed & a wonderful chef, Awul. It was an immersive experience with truly incredible views, landscapes and wildlife. We saw and followed six Ethiopian wolves during our three days, saw Nyala, warthogs, hyraxes, hyenas & various deer. The Ethiopians we met and who were involved in our trip were unbelievably kind and hospitable, making our trip so wonderful. We felt very lucky to have got to do this trip & would so recommend it to anyone!

Immersed in Bale: A Journey with Husiye - My friends and I spent three days with Husiye exploring the Bale mountain area. The area is amazing, but if you're reading this, you already know that. What you care about knowing is that experiencing this with someone who passionately showcases their land and people, and who wants you to immerse yourself in both the nature and culture of the place, adds immense value. I can guarantee that Husiye is that person! Thanks again, my friend. It was an incredible experience and a pleasure to spend it with you!

Superb trek with Ebrahim - We spent 3 nights in the Bale Mountains, with Ebrahim as our guide, and it was one of the best moments of our trip to Ethiopia! The hikes are very beautiful because the landscapes vary every day and you can easily observe different animals. Ebrahim knows the place perfectly and is attentive to his guests! I recommend it to anyone who wants to walk in nature, far from the crowds! Tip: bring warm clothes for the evening 😉

Comfortable camping in beautiful Bale mountains - Me and four friends camped in the Bale Mountains with the help of our great guide Mohammed. We stayed in a campsite with wild animals roaming around - warthogs near our tents! We went on several relaxed nice walks in the park, and did one big adventure to the second highest peak in Ethiopia. We had a great time. Ali G, a great chef cooked delicious vegetarian meals for us. We had a warm campfire which prepared us for the cold nights and there were beautiful views of the stars. A lovely trip that I would recommend. Mohammed was very accommodating and speaks good English. It was interesting to speak to him about the park and the work that is being done to increase tourism in a responsible way.
