Bale Mountains National Park

As the largest area of Afro-alpine habitat in the whole of Africa, Bale Mountains National Park offers visitors unsurpassed opportunities for mountain walking, horse trekking and scenic driving.  It also offers the chance to spot many of Ethiopia's endemic mammals, such as Mountain Nyala and the Ethiopian Wolf, and birds such as the Thick-billed Raven, Wattled Ibis, Blue-winged Goose and Rouget's Rail.

Bale Mountains National Park is an area of high-altitude plateau, broken by numerous spectacular volcanic plugs and peaks, beautiful alpine lakes and rushing mountain streams that descend into deep rocky gorges on their way to the lowlands below.

As you ascend into the mountains, you'll experience changes in the vegetation with altitude, from juniper forests to heather moorlands and alpine meadows, which at various times of year exhibit an abundance of colourful wild flowers.
