Bale Mountain Lodge

The lodge staff were welcoming and provided the thoughtful touches that made our visit so enjoyable. The rooms had wood stoves that were lit during dinner, so you returned to a warm fire in your room that cut the damp air of the cloud forest. The central lodge is well appointed, a wonderful central place to relax and hang out. We also had a family cabin that allowed the children in our group (6 of them) to hang out and play games in their own space. Their micro-hydro system ensures electricity in that remote location, but don't expect cell service. Instead, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, the magnificent views and the wildlife spotting opportunities.

This place is incredible. The lodge has had a tough go of it since 2020 but is still a beautiful place. The scenery is indescribable; very impressive mountains and forest. The kitchen staff has obviously been trained in American cooking👍. Our guide Ayuba knows the Bale like the back of his hand and showed us just a few of the many wonders including the Ethiopian wolf. The drive over the plateau is long and rough but undoubtedly worth it!

Totally awesome scenery! Cozy lodges. Basic amenities. The loss of business due to Covid and conflict in the country shows in the decaying buildings that haven't had good upkeep. We certainly hope this lodge stays open so others have the opportunity to experience this fantastic location! The delicious meals and style in which they were served were a highlight for our family. Great place to adventure and see monkeys, Ethiopian wolves, and other wildlife, jungle, waterfalls, native lifestyles, and climb mountains. Our guide Ayuba was the best! Told us lots of interesting facts about the park and country. The downside is that this fantastic place is hard to get to due to a deteriorating road. We will never forget this amazing experience at Bale Mountain Lodge! Definitely recommend!

Bale mountain lodge just reopened after 4 years of closure due to covid and conflict. Luciano the manager will do his utmost to ensure that your needs are met, and will provide information about trekking possibilities. The view and setting in the middle of nature is amazing. The staff is friendly and professional. The food is very good and clean. I very much recommend this lodge!

According to my experience the Bale mountain park and lounge nice enjoyment with my friend and I encourage to you to visit this areas I wish God time We love you

Excellent stay at Bale Mountain Lodge. Hot showers were a delight after the most beautiful 21k run on the Sanety plateau at high altitude. Staff is lovely and professional. Great meals. Highly recommended!

Great lodge in the middle of Harena forest in the heart of Bale National Park. Rooms are clean and well functioning (electricity and good water supply) Hosting team is really helpful and welcoming, Plus the project is trying its best to preserve this exceptional environment, at stakes due to increasing human within the park. We really felt that staying there was supporting the preservation of the park. Note that you need a 4x4 to reach the lodge, there is a 60km pista road to reach the lodge, not in good condition during raining season.

I have never stayed at this lodge but the owners Yvonne and Guy are friends who have gone a long way to establish a welcoming place for visitors. Set in a beautiful part of the Bale Mountains, adorable hosting by Yvonne and her team is something that wont be easily forgotten!
