About
Bale Mountain Lodge is an 8 room boutique forest lodge in the Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) of south central Ethiopia. The lodge is the first private concession to be granted within an Ethiopian National Park and is setting the standard for conservation related tourism in this new and exciting market. The location of the lodge has been selected to provide guests an excellent opportunity to experience a pristine wilderness that incorporates the largest tract of Afro-alpine moorland remaining on the continent, the majority being over 3800m above sea level, whilst living at 2400m in a stunning cloud forest which offers access to the rift valley and wider local attractions. This amazing mix of habitats supports myriad rare species, many endemic to Ethiopia and some found only within the park. 60% of the remaining Ethiopian Wolves, the world’s most rare carnivore, are found within the park; other species include the endemic Mountain Nyala, Menelik’s Bushbuck various rodent species, Black Maned Lions, rare Giant Forest Hogs and significant numbers of endemic or rare bird species. Bale Mountain Lodge offers the highest quality accommodation, food and service levels in Ethiopia whilst providing guests, through our Resident Naturalist, the opportunity to engage with the local community and with scientific research and conservation teams working in this unique location.
