Ethiopia 2007 (Bale Mountains)

An AGS Tour in September 2007. We started in Addis Ababa and drove by mini bus to Goba. Here we stayed several nights in a hotel to explore the Bale mountains with its many endemic plants. On the Bale mountains we also saw the Ethiopian wolf, which is a very endagered species. The plant of the trip was the giant Lobelia rhynchopetalum which can grow up to 10m tall. After this we flew to Kenya for the second part of the trip, climbing and botanizing on Mount Kenya.
