Overview

This trek takes you through the Bale Mountains National Park, which encompasses the largest afro-alpine habitat in all of Africa. The park features a high-altitude plateau, fragmented by remarkable volcanic plugs and peaks, as well as beautiful alpine lakes and mountain streams that cascade down deep, rocky gorges on their way to the lowlands. This region is a haven for various endemic mammals, including the Ethiopian wolf, Mountain Nyala, and Bale monkey, among others.

As you continue your journey, you'll venture into the tropical rainforest, the second largest forest in Ethiopia. Here, you can search for the elusive Bale monkey and explore the enchanting bamboo forests that thrive in this unique ecosystem.

Route details

Day 1
Bale Mountains

Tour in Bale Mountain National Park begins with our arrival at the park headquarters, where we will take a brief break. This location offers an excellent opportunity to spot various animal species, including the endemic mountain nyala, Ethiopian bushbuck, reedbuck, and common warthogs, all of which are commonly seen in the area around the headquarters. 

Birdwatchers will also be delighted, as the region is home to unique species such as the endemic Abyssinian catbird, Abyssinian longclaw, white-backed black tit, and wattled ibis, all of which are found only in Ethiopia and Eritrea. After a day of exploration, we will spend the night at the Dinsho campsite, located at an altitude of 3,100 meters.
