This National Park protects over 2,200km² of pristine plains, woodlands and bush land.

The high altitude, afro-montane Sanetti Plateau rises to over 4,000m and includes the highest peak in the southern Ethiopia highlands, the Tullu Deemtu.

Bale is the last main stronghold for the endangered mountain Nyala, a large spiral-horned antelope most often seen on the short walking trail that runs through the juniper-hagenia forest around the park headquarters at Dinsho.

Nominated as a tentative UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site in 2009.
