So leave the daily grind behind as you delve into the wilderness of this beautiful country at this exclusive hideaway.<\/p>\n<h2>Location<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll take the scenic route from Addis Ababa to Bale National Park as you head towards your rural escape. Situated in the heart of this haven of biodiversity you\u2019ll glimpse sightings of a whole host of endemic wildlife as you\u00a0embark on Ethiopian-style safaris by car or even on horseback. A drive up to the Sanetti Plateau at sunrise is your best chance of seeing the elusive Ethiopian wolf, with the added bonus of being a great spot to watch the sun come up lighting up the valley below.<\/p>\n<h2>Your room<\/h2>\n<p>Made with natural materials, the lodge blends in with the lush surroundings with all the cosy rooms boasting panoramic vistas of the rugged mountains. Inside your room you can curl up with a book by your very own wood burning stove which for us is the perfect end to a day exploring this unique region.<\/p>\n<h2>Why we like it<\/h2>\n<p>Bale Mountain Lodge is as close to the top of the world as you can get, well almost, and the stunning views you\u2019re treated to will certainly make you feel that way.
