Journey to Bale Mountain National Park
Bale Mountains - Embark on an 8-hour drive from Addis to Bale Mountain Lodge, pausing along the way for sightseeing and breaks. Arrive at the serene cloud forest setting. The lodge is perched high in the mountains, offering stunning views over a large clearing, perfect for wildlife observation. Guests have spotted giant forest hogs, leopards, black-maned lions, Bale and vervet monkeys, olive baboons, and Menelik’s bushbucks. Conveniently located in the cloud forest, guided walks in the nearby area are available daily.
This afternoon, settle in and unwind after your journey, or embark on a hike before dinner. Short walks near the lodge often reward guests with sightings of the elusive Bale monkey and a vibrant array of birds, including Ethiopian cisticola, Abyssinian slaty flycatcher, Abyssinian catbird, black-headed siskin, yellow-fronted parrot, and black-winged lovebird. A more challenging two-hour hike up Mount Gujaralle offers breathtaking views of the untouched forest. Enjoy a refreshing dip in a secluded waterfall on your return to the lodge.
