Good trekking can also be made in the Bale Mountains National Park. Bale is an area of high altitude plateaus with volcanic crags, lakes, forests, alpine moor land, trout filled streams and a striking variety of fauna and flora.
While trekking you will be able to see endemic mammals such as the Mountain Nyala, Simien Wolf, and Menelik Bushbuck as well as many endemic birds. In the Harrena Forest which is located in the southern part of the park there are leopards and lions, although the dense forest makes it difficult to spot these animals. The fantastic underwater river and caves of Sof Omar are a one day drive from Goba by car.
