The Bale Mountain Park is 2,150km2 and is comprised of five major vegetation zones;
- The Northern Grasslands
- The Juniper Woodlands
- The Afroalpine Meadows (The Sanneti Plateau & Upper Web Valley)
- Erica Belt: Moorlands & Forest
- Harenna Forest
Wassyma Campsite is located towards the north-centre (eastwards of the park) in the Afroalpine Meadows (The Sanneti Plateau & Upper Web Valley).
The Bale Mountains National Park contains the largest patch of Afroalpine land on the continent. With an altitude above 4,000m, the Sanetti plateau is the flat mountaintop of the Bale massif. Due to the altitude, plant diversity here is low, but is covered by Helichrysum moorland dotted with giant lobelia, found from 3,100m to 4,377m growing to a maximum height of 6m. The highest point in the Bale Mountains and second highest point in Ethiopia rises from the plateau: Mount Tulu Dimtu stands at 4,377m. The Afroalpine area of BMNP is the main refuge for the endangered and endemic Ethiopian wolf; with a total global population of less than 450 individuals, it is the rarest canid in Africa. Over half of the population is found in the Bale Mountains National Park. The area is also a home to over 13 rodent species including the entire global population of the giant molerat.
Apart from serving as the wolves’ food, the high abundance of rodents in the area attracts many species of raptors. Special raptor species frequently seen include the steppe eagle, tawny eagle, black eagle, golden eagle, greater spotted eagle, lesser spotted eagle, augur buzzard, long-legged buzzard, lanner falcon, peregrine falcon, pallid harrier and bearded vulture (lammergeyer). In addition to raptors, other groups of birds often easily spotted are the spot-breasted plover, black-headed siskin, Abyssinian longclaw, thekla lark, ground scraper thrush, red-breasted wheatear and alpine chat, all of which are common species located with little effort.

Dinsho Campsite is based at the park Headquarters in the Juniper Woodlands ares and is close to the Grasslands.
The juniper woodlands cover the northern slopes of the Bale massif, reaching from Dodola to Dinsho. These woodlands are under intense pressure from grazing, inhibiting the growth of new trees. Hagenia abyssinica and African juniper (Juniperus procera) dominate the woodlands. At the upper limit of their distribution, the juniper trees are smaller than in other parts of the park. In contrast, the Hagenia trees can grow to be massive, flowering from November to February. St John’s wort (Hypericum revolutum) is also common in the woodlands, growing as shrubs near the lower edge and reaching a height of 5m in the upper tree line. They are easily recognizable by their bright yellow flowers, which bloom throughout the year and are the major source of nectar for the honey produced in the area. Also present is the only indigenous rose to Africa (Rosa abyssinica), which has fragrant, white flowers.
Mountain nyala, warthog, Menelik’s bushbuck, colobus monkey and olive baboon can be spotted in the area. Birds to look for include the wattled ibis, Abyssinian catbird, white-backed black tit, Abyssinian ground thrush, gold-mantled woodpecker, red- breasted wryneck, thick-billed raven and many more.
