Sanetti Plateau
Sanetti
An alpine plateau at about 4,000 metres, the largest in Africa, dotted with heath and giant lobelia. It is the best place to see Ethiopian wolves.
The plateau stretches across the centre of the Bale Mountains. One of Africa's highest all-weather roads climbs from Goba over the plateau to Harenna Forest. Along the way are glacier-carved lakes and marshes, alpine meadows and giant lobelias. The plateau is home to the world's largest population of Ethiopian wolves, and early in the morning they are often seen by the roadside hunting giant mole-rats. You can reach the mountain by hired vehicle from Goba or Robe. Tickets must be bought at the Dinsho park headquarters, and a guide must be hired. The high altitude means thin air and strong UV, so dress warmly, protect yourself from the sun and watch for altitude sickness.
