The Bale Mountains National Park is a mosaic of habitats, from the high Sanetti Plateau home to the world's rarest canid, the Ethiopian Wolf to the mystical Harenna Forest. It is a place of dramatic elevation changes and unique biodiversity found nowhere else on earth.
Trekking through these highlands, you might encounter the endemic Mountain Nyala or see the rare Bale Monkey in the forest canopy. It is a wilderness that feels old and untouched, a sanctuary for species that have survived here for millennia.
