Bale Mountain Lodge
Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) of south central Ethiopia
(German version soon to come)

Bale Mountain Lodge will be a 30 bed Boutique Forest lodge in the Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) of south central Ethiopia. Building has commenced and it is anticipated that the lodge will be open for business in mid 2013. 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 in a stunning cloud forest which offers access to the rift valley and wider local attractions.

This amazing mix of habitats supports a 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 and various rodent species, plus lions, rare Giant Forest Hogs and significant numbers of endemic or rare bird species.
