Itinerary
Day 1 :
Addis Ababa - Goba
After breakfast, we drive to the Bale Mountains and enroute we stop at Lake Ziway to watch the many water birds at its shore. The headquarters of the Park are situated in Dinsho where we finalize some formalities before we proceed to Goba.
Day 2 :
Goba (visit Bale Mountains NP)
Spend the day exploring the Bale Mountains. This is going to be a day of extraordinary scenery as we search for the endemic species of which many are found in this area. Among them the mountain Nyala, Menelik's bushbuck, Ethiopian wolf and many birds.
Day 3 :
Goba or visit Sof Omar caves
If the weather permits, we spend the Day Exploring the Sof Omar cave, 100 km/ 2,5 hr to the east. Here, we admire what is believed to be the largest network of limestone caves in Africa. The Web River flows through the cave system, and when the river is too high, the caves are not accessible. In that case, we explore more of the Bale Mountains.
Day 4 :
Goba - Addis Ababa
Leave the mountainous area behind and travel down to the bottom of the Rift Valley by a different, very scenic road via Asela. Late afternoon, we drop you at your hotel in Addis Ababa.
(About 115 km (2,5 hr) before Addis Ababa, we pass the hot spring resort of Sodore, which could make a lovely relaxing overnight break if you have another day to spend)
