Luxury Travel to Bale Mountains made for you
A scenic and diverse landscape
From the moss-covered trees of the remarkable Harenna Forest in the south, to the expansive Sanetti Plateau with its giant lobelia, the diverse landscape of the Bale Mountains is astoundingly scenic.
Also known as the Urgoma Mountains, the range includes Mount Batu, and Tullu Demtu, which, at 4377m, is the second highest mountain in Ethiopia. This region is home to many of the country’s prevalent animals. Look out for the Ethiopian wolf specifically on the Sanetti Plateau, and giant mole-rats on the outwardly barren Afroalpine meadows.
Covering 2200 square kilometres of the mountains, the Bale Mountain National Park is the perfect place to experience the untouched alpine scenery and its unique wildlife. The largely unexplored Harenna Forest is also believed to be home to a variety of undiscovered species or reptile, as well antelope, and large cats like lions and leopards. There are several hikes through the park from the headquarters, Dinsho.
Venture out into the woodlands and discover the juniper trees on the slopes of the Bale massif, and the large hagenia trees which flower between November and February.
