Spent three days trekking in the Bale Mountains with Mohamed and it was one of the best parts of our trip to Ethiopia. Camping out on the plateau meant spectacular scenery, beautiful night skies and a lot of wildlife. We saw Ethiopian wolves, Nyala, hyrax, hyena and my favourite - the hyrax. Throughout the trip, we were fed wonderful food by the team chef, Awul. Everyone on the team was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend this trip to anyone who likes trekking and camping.
A couple of words of advice - bring suncream and warm clothes. The weather changes rapidly as you climb! Also make sure your bag is waterproofed - when it rains, it rains a lot!
