Details of Bale Mountains National Park

In keeping with Ethiopia's status as a land of startling contrasts, Bale Mountain National Park is a land of rugged mountains, cloud-dampened alpine forest, and the country's largest concentration of large mammals.

Isolated far from the regular tourist attractions, Bale Mountains National Park rewards those who are willing to make the effort to get there.

The Mountain Nyala and Semien Fox are endemic to the park, while larger game such as kudu and bushbucks also roam the highlands.

While large predators such as leopards and lions are an uncommon sight, the Serval Cat and Semien Fox are common sights out on the prowl.

Bird-watchers and hikers are sure to find something to capture their imagination in the park as well.

A Hadzabe Tribe Visit Tanzania gets sold on almost every Lake Eyasi itinerary, a dawn hunt, the click sounds of the language, arrows and honey. What most travellers never learn is how much of what they saw was arranged in advance for them to see. This blog explains who the...

Most first safaris get built around a fear of missing out, six parks, six days, a new lodge every night. What you get is a holiday spent mostly in transit, watching Tanzania slide past through a window. A Slow Safari Tanzania flips that. Fewer parks, more nights, deeper time with...
