Bale Mountain Lodge is the only permanent lodge within the Bale Mountains National Park, positioned in the heart of the largest remaining population of the rare and endemic Ethiopian wolf.
Timber cottages set within the Harenna Forest, each with a private veranda overlooking the surrounding cloud forest.
A refined dining programme served within the lodge’s main lounge, overlooking the forest.
Guided walks and drives across the Sanetti Plateau, Africa’s largest expanse of Afro-alpine moorland, tracking Ethiopian wolf.
Bale holds roughly half of the world’s remaining Ethiopian wolf population, alongside mountain nyala and the endemic giant mole-rat that forms much of the wolf’s diet.
The Sanetti Plateau’s open moorland gives clear sightlines for photographing Ethiopian wolf hunting mole-rats in daylight, a rare canid behaviour to observe.
The lodge directly funds the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme, the primary research and protection effort for this critically endangered species.
