Bale Mountain Trek & Indigenous Tribe of Lower Omo Valley: 15 days The Bale Mountains are a range of mountains in the Oromia Region of southeast Ethiopia, south of the Awash River. The Bale Mountains National Park covers 2,200 square kilometers of these mountains. The Bale Mountains are home to many of Ethiopia's endemic animals, notably the Ethiopian Wolf. The park also contains the Harenna Forest, situated to the south of the mountains which is a largely unexplored area thought to contain many undiscovered species of reptile as well as lion, leopard and various types of antelope. Besides wildlife the National Park offers exceptional trekking opportunities from the park headquarters at Dinsho. 15 days Bale Mountain & Lower Omo Valley.pdf
