Mtn. Nyala safaris are conducted in both the Arusi Mountains and the Bale Mountains at altitudes anywhere from 6,000 to 11,000 feet. It’s forest hunting and is a cross between a sheep hunt and a “vertical” Bongo hunt. The concessions are located in Bale Province, just southeast of Goba and Bale National Park which is a nine hour drive southeast of Addis Ababa and the Din Din mountains which are a 6 hour drive from Addis. It is possible to charter flights from Addis to within an hour drive of the Bale camp. The tented camps have running water (both hot and cold), indoor toilets and showers. Demerow begins at 6,000 feet and goes up to 7,500 feet. Odo Bulo, which is the adjacent area, goes all the way up to 11,000 feet. The Din Din region also gets as high as 11,500 feet as well. Most of the terrain is steep, heavy old-growth forest with the areas above 10,000 feet thinning to the beginnings of heather and lobelia. We can hunt year round in the lower areas because

they do not produce fog when the rains come. Mtn. Nyala is the main species hunted here and a very wealthy population of Menelik’s bushbuck is also present. The hunting is conducted by horseback and often spike camps are used. The thick forest means normally shots are less than 200 yards: however, one must be prepared for the possibility of a longer cross canyon shot in excess of 350 yards. The Omo River lies in the Ethiopia Great Rift Valley, with vistas of the mountains of Kenya to the south are the hills of Sudan to the west. Accommodations included modern guesthouses, daily laundry service and a spacious dining center. Other features included modern safari vehicles and a skilled kitchen staff. The all weather airstrip is located just 400 yards from the camp at the edge of the Omo Plains. The area supports one of Africa’s largest and most unique game populations. Common game includes Lesser Kudu, Southern Gerenuk, Northern Grants Gazelle, Guenther’s Dik Dik, Abyssinian Greater Kudu, Tiang, Serval, East African Bush Duiker, Golden Jackal, Silver backed jackal, Spotted Hyena, Klipspringer, Anubis Baboon, Colobus and Crocodile. Other species found are Abyssinian Bushbuck, Warthog and Defassa Waterbuck.
