We traveled, a family of five, a couple of parents and three teenagers, for three days in Bale mountain under the guidance of Mohammed. We started near Dinshu and saw many wild animals. The next day we went to the plato and got to see the red wolf. We climbed to the top of Tullu Dimtu. The next day we hiked through the magical rainforest and waterfalls in the area. Mohammed is an excellent guide and with a very broad knowledge and he is happy to share, he knows every stone and path. On the last evening he took us to a local family who taught us how to make injera. Mohammed is patient and pleasant and we highly recommend him. +251913958802

We just came back from a long trip all over Ethiopia. Ethiopia is an amazing country with wonderful and beautiful people. We had with us the best guide ever, Ebrahim Ahmed Erdis, very polite, supportive, helpful and great company. We were feeling very safe during the whole trip. Ebrahim +251912255345 is also a great trekking guide (mountain machine) specializing in Bale mountains. Totally recommended.

Hussain, Aliyi, Shewa and the team gave their best to make the trip comfortable. Weather was overall very good. The horse riding to Rafu and Rafu itself was unforgettable. Only hiccup was that the car was not in a good condition. Great trip overall.

I arrived from hawassa via Shasheme to Dodola which is closer than Dinsho. There there is a guide association that can organise for the next day a treck on the Dodola - treck wich is basically a trail with camps designed 20 years ago by some german guy. I just got food and a guide and we walked the mountains for 4 days, sleeping in bed in basic camps or at some familly's place. it can be more or less days, you can hire a cook or hoses. You ll look for your breath as this happens over 3000 meters but you ll get used quickly. Baboons, hyennas, white tail monkeyx and really nice endemic flora and trees . Ayano my guide was fluent in english and has encyclopeduc knowledge on the ebndemic species we walked through. contacts : i just arrived and f afternoon at the mountain bale hotel wich is more like a restaurant but where you can meet shibiru ( who speacks french) who can organise what you want for the next day. or you can try to contact them before : Shibiru : shebrumarifo2@gmail.com Ayano Abraham : +251 91 334 8375

My experience exploring the Bale Mountains during the rainy season with our guide was nothing short of spectacular. Despite the weather, we had an unforgettable adventure thanks to our knowledgeable and attentive guide. Our guide sahlie beza was exceptional in navigating the challenges of the rainy season. Their extensive knowledge of the area and its wildlife enriched our journey, offering insights into the unique ecosystem and its inhabitants. June in the Bale Mountains can be rainy, but our guide ensured that we were well-prepared. They adjusted our itinerary to make the most of the weather windows, ensuring that we still had opportunities to explore and witness the beauty of the landscape between showers. Despite the rain, we were fortunate to encounter a variety of wildlife native to the Bale Mountains. Our guide's expertise allowed us to spot diverse bird species, and with luck, we caught glimpses of the endemic Ethiopian wolf and other mammals that thrive in the mountainous terrain. The Bale Mountains are stunning year-round, and even in the rainy season, the landscapes were breathtaking. We hiked through lush green valleys, past cascading waterfalls swollen with rain, and were treated to dramatic cloud formations swirling around the peaks. I highly recommend visiting the Bale Mountains with excellent trekking team during the rainy season for a memorable and rewarding adventure.highly recommend sahlie and discover simien tour sahlie.simien@gmail.com
