Brian Cornelson's experience at Bale Mountain Lodge

Click here to see Brian's Blog about Bale

Brian was a guest with us over the weekend of the 10th to the 13th of April and has written about his experience in his own blog. His account gives you a real feel for where we stand at the moment in our first year of operations.  As an aside, picking up on his comments, we are working on improving the park ticket experience, even if this is a little out of our hands, and the Park Warden is on side.  Similarly we are trying to make the Dinsho Guides Association understand that forcing guides on tourists is counter productive in the long run.  A long, slow education process but we shall succeed eventually.

SOLOMON'S GOAT - LIFE IN AFRICA





This was a photo taken before a journey Yvonne made from Bale to Addis Ababa last week.  The goat was a present from our Chef, Solomon, to his wife for Fasika (Ethiopian Easter) and resulted in the goat peeing and pooping all over the bags in the back of the car.  Yvonne said we should employ the goat as it also managed to carefully unzip a couple of bags and to eat Avocados for a starter followed by sweet biscuits for its pudding - quite a bright goat.  Guy
