Drive to Bale mountain National Park
Bale Mountains - Today set out on the 8-hour journey from Addis to Bale Mountain Lodge, stopping en-route for sightseeing and leg stretches. Arrive to the tranquil setting of the cloud forest. The lodge is set high in the mountains with views overlooking a large clearing that offers breathtaking views and opportunities for animal sightings. Guest sightings have included giant forest hogs, leopards, black-maned lions, Bale and vervet monkeys, olive baboons, and Meneliks bushbucks. The lodge is located conveniently in the cloud forest and guided walks in the immediate surroundings are available every day.
Settle in this afternoon and relax after your long journey or set out on a hike before dinner. Some of the short walks near the lodge commonly afford guests with sightings of the shy Bale monkey, a colorful variety of birds including Ethiopian cisticola, Abyssinian slaty flycatcher, Abyssinian catbird, black-headed siskin, and the yellow-fronted parrot and black-winged lovebird. A more strenuous two-hour walk up Mount Gujaralle gives stunning views of the pristine forest. Stop to take a cooling dip in a secluded waterfall on your way back to the lodge.
