Bale Mountains Hiking & Wildlife Tours

The Bale Mountains offer a very different Ethiopian trekking experience from the dramatic cliffs of the Simiens.

Here, travellers cross high plateaus, Afro-alpine moorlands, forests and wildlife-rich landscapes that provide some of the best opportunities to observe endemic Ethiopian mammals.

The region is particularly associated with the Ethiopian wolf, mountain nyala and Bale monkey.

Depending on the itinerary, Bale Mountains tours may include:

  • Dinsho
  • Highland trekking routes
  • Sanetti Plateau
  • Harenna Forest
  • Wildlife watching
  • Birding
  • Camping and mountain landscapes

Bale is ideal for hikers, photographers, birders and wildlife enthusiasts looking to explore Ethiopia beyond the northern historical circuit.
