The incredible limestone caverns of Sof Omar make a day's exposing from Dinsho, Robe or Goba. The street leaves Robe town, crossing the cultivating regions toward the east, before plummeting into the swamps. Here the vegetation is altogether different being dry swamp with lush fields. The holes lie at 1,300 m above ocean level.
This is in checked difference to what you will involvement in the Bale Mountains at up to 4,000 m. Altogether different creatures happen en route also, most detectably the Greater and Lesser Kudu - both relatives of the Mountain Nyala, and the modest dik pronghorn. The hollows themselves convey the entire stream of the Web River that ascents in the Bale Mountains, underground through superbly cut sinkholes for a separation of one and a half kilometers.

There are more than fifteen kilometers of related sections, which require ability, time and exceptional gear for a full investigation. In any case, an amicable neighborhood guide will indicate you enough to blow your mind and make the outing beneficial, for 60 minutes or for whatever length of time that you want to spend. A cool plunge free River a short time later revives you for the arrival drive.

Sof Omar Caves

The fantastic limestone caves of Sof Omar make a day's outing from Dinsho, Robe or Goba. The road leaves Robe town, crossing the farming areas to the east, before descending into the lowlands. Here the vegetation is very different being dry lowland with wooded grasslands. The caves lie at 1,300 m above sea level. This is in marked contrast to what you will experience in the Bale Mountains at up to 4,000 m. Very different animals occur along the way as well, most noticeably the Greater and Lesser Kudu - both relatives of the Mountain Nyala, and the tiny dik dik antelope. The caves themselves carry the whole flow of the Web River that rises in the Bale Mountains, underground through wonderfully carved caverns for a distance of one and a half kilometres.
There are over fifteen kilometres of associated passages, which require skill, time and special equipment for a full exploration. However, a friendly local guide will show you enough to take your breath away and make the trip worthwhile, for an hour or for as long as you care to spend. A cool dip in the clear River afterwards refreshes you for the return drive.
