What to expect

    will pick you up at bole international airport directly drive to Bale Mountains Start early in the morning and drive to Bale Mountains national park visiting the rift valley region. We will have stop at Dinsho – the head quarter of Bale Mountains National Park. Here, you will have the best opportunity to easily spot the Mountain Nyala, Menelik Bush buck warthogs, and different birds like Abyssinian cat bird, Abyssinian long eard owl, white backed black tit etc. Crossing the senette plateau, where we will have the chance to see the endemic Ethiopian wolf, and further drive to Harena forest for overnight: Wube Shablly Hotel

    Bale Mountains
    
Today will be a day of great contrasts with amazing scenery and birding. We will depart early, and ascend the Bale massif onto the Sanetti Plateau, which is between 3800m and 4377m above sea level. This site is an Important Bird Area of immense importance, supporting seven globally threatened species and nearly all of Ethiopia’s Highland biome species. Our main target today is to see the plateau’s most celebrated resident, the Ethiopian or Simien Wolf, crowned with the unenviable title of “the world’s rarest canid.” Watching these vibrantly colored animals, most closely related to the European Timber Wolf, exhibiting their hunting prowess while pouncing on Giant Mole-rats (another endemic to the Sanetti Plateau), is surely amongst Africa’s greatest wildlife experiences. We should enjoy excellent photographic opportunities in this unique mountain wonderland.
