Encounter with the Ethiopian Wolf in the Bale Mountains (13,000 feet)
Hi everyone,
I’ve just returned from a trip through the national parks of southern Ethiopia, and I wanted to share an encounter that will stay with me forever: that of the Ethiopian Wolf.
Spotting this canid—the rarest in the world—on the barren Sanetti plateaus at over 13,000 feet is a breathtaking experience (literally, given the oxygen levels!). Beyond the luck of photographing it in its fiery red coat, it was the mystical atmosphere of these highlands—the "Roof of Africa"—that left its mark on me.
I’ve posted a detailed account with my photo series on my travel journal for anyone planning a trip to the Bale region or simply curious about this magnificent and endangered species.

Don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions about accessing the park or spotting local wildlife—I’d be happy to chat! !
