Located in the mysterious Harenna Forest, the thatch, stone and wood cottages of Bale Mountain Lodge are in-keeping with the local aesthetic but also high quality and reminiscent of a mountain chalet. One cottage is also fully accessible for wheelchair users.
The lodge is keen to reduce its carbon footprint through as many eco-friendly means as possible, diverting a portion of the local river to power the lodge through hydro-electric power which is filtered as a source of water for guests.
The Mountain Lodge is an ideal base from which to embark on guided walks, cultural and historical visits, bird watching, fishing and game drives to catch a glimpse of some native wildlife including the endangered Ethiopian wolf. The lodge are also able to arrange day trips to the southern part of the National Park so that guests can visit villages which very rarely see tourists. We recommend spending at least two nights here to fully appreciate your spectacular surroundings.
