Wild and Exotic Bale Mountains ride summary
This short but fascinating ride explores the wild, high altitude and remote Saneti plateau (also known as the island in the air), the world’s largest expanse of Afro Alpine habitat that is home to the rare Ethiopian wolf. You will experience a host of other endemic species of wildlife: mountain nyala, Meneliks bush buck, wart hogs, and a phenomenal variety of prolific bird life. Guests ride hardy Abyssinian ponies for up to 6 hours a day at an altitude of between 2,500 and 4,000 metres. The views are spectacular looking down on the vast tropical rain forests, and the air is clear and fresh. You will spend 3 nights under canvas with all supplies transported by packhorse before repairing to the fabulous boutique Bale Mountains lodge, which is surrounded by pristine cloud forest , colourful birds and rare wildlife.
We can also arrange a privately guided visit to the most iconic of Ethiopia’s northern regions including Axum, Gondar and Lalibela.
