The Bale Mountains National Park, which covers an area of 2470 square kilometers, and through which one can either walk or drive, is one of the best places to see the endemic Simien Red Wolf, the Mountain Nyala and Menilek's bushbuck. Amongst a profusion of birds, other animals to be seen include Anubis baboons, Colobus Monkey's, giant forest hog, lions and leopards. The creeks of the park, which become important rivers further down, offer some of Africa's finest fishing for both rainbow and brown trout.
Not far from the Bale Mountains is one of the World's most spectacular and extensive underground caverns: the Sof Omar Cave system. Formed by the Wabi River as it changed its course in the distant past and carved a new channel through limestone foothills, Sof Omar is an extraordinary Natural Phenomenon of breathtaking beauty.
