Hotels and lodges near Bale Mountains National Park

Where to stay around Bale

Most visitors base in Goba or Dinsho, both on the park's northern edge. A small number of lodges sit just inside the park, including the well-known mountain lodge in the Harenna Forest — perfect for early-morning wolf and bird walks.

• Dinsho — park HQ village, easiest access to Gaysay grasslands
• Goba — comfortable hotels, regional capital, restaurants
• Harenna Forest lodge — inside the park, southern slopes
• Sanetti Plateau day trips from any of the above
