Bale Mountains National Park
The Bale Mountains National Park oers unique and wonderful landscapes. The park is made up of two distinct landscapes, the Harenna Forest and Sanetti Plateau. The park is also home to Ethiopia’s second highest point, Tulu Dimtu, and the country’s largest population of
endemic Ethiopian Wolves can be found in the Sanetti Plateau.

The Simien landscape is staggering, and the park is home to a variety of wildlife, including the endemic Ethiopian Wolf, Walia Ibex, and troops of curious Gelada Monkeys.
