Drive to Bale Mountains (from Langano) | Fair Voyage

OUR TOP PICKS FOR YOU – LOVED BY FAIR VOYAGE TRAVELERS

Afternoon, after a relaxed lunch, you drive to Dinsho, which is the gateway to the fabled Bale Mountains, which reach an altitude of around 4,500 meters (more than 14,000 feet). Here you are going to spend a day birding varied habitats for such sought-after species as Abyssinian Owl, Cape (Mackinder’s) Eagle-Owl (the most massive of three subspecies), African Wood Owl, Wattled Ibis, Chestnut-naped Francolin, Moorland Francolin, Wattled Crane, Red-billed Chough, White-backed Black Tit, Abyssinian Catbird, African Emerald Cuckoo, Abyssinian Crimsonwing, and, with luck, Golden Eagle, as well as a long list of other birds. Interesting mammals here are mountain nyala, klipspringer, Menelik’s bushbuck, Bohor reedbuck, and others.
