4-Day Omo Valley Tribal Tour from Jinka with Mursi and Dassanech

• Upon arrival, our tour representative will pick you up at Jinka Airport in a well-maintained 4WD with a built-in modern AC system as well as charging facilities.
• Then, we drive directly to Turmi, the small town of the Hamar tribe. Depending on the clients' travel dates, clients may attend the most colourful Bena or Hamar tribal market on the available day along the way to Turmi on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday.
• In the late afternoon, you will visit a deep communal village of the Hamar tribe to experience their local way of life, and then drive back to Turmi town.

Overnight in Buska Lodge.

• In the morning, drive to Nyangatom/Bume Village. The Nyangatom people live on the western side of the Omo River, and their homeland stretches into South Sudan. The elders of both sexes wear lower lip plugs; the men's are made from ivory, and the women's are made from copper. Young girls wear dresses made from goat or sheepskin with unique decorations made from nails.
• After visiting this tribe's village for as much time as you need, we will make an excursion to the Korcho villages of the Karo tribe, who are renowned for their exquisite body painting and decorative body scarification.
• Drive back to Turmi.

Overnight in Buska Lodge.

• Early in the morning, drive to the border town of Omorate, home to the Dassanech tribe, who are thought to have Bantu descendants. After crossing the newly constructed Omo River bridge, continue to a little-known distant pastoralist community, hoping to arrive before sunrise and before the cattle leave their barn. This is the best time to capture the incredible natural and human atmosphere, and to photograph children feeding and playing, women milking, cooking by fire, grinding corn meal, and men with their flock.
• After visiting this tribe's village for as long as you need, we will drive back to Jinka through Turmi.
• Drop off at your hotel, and then after freshening up in the afternoon, we will take you to the Ari tribe's village, which is settled on the plateau lands surrounding Jinka, the lower Omo Valley zonal administrative town.
• Then, visit village life in these communities from door to door by trekking. You will enjoy meeting them in the middle of their daily activities and interacting with them while seeing how hospitable they are in welcoming you into their communal village compound for coffee. After this activity, we drive back to town.

Overnight in Nasa Pension.

• Today, our journey begins early in the morning after breakfast with an excursion to scenic Mago National Park, where the Mursi tribe resides. This tribal society is well known for wearing clay-made circular ear and lip plates, as well as for body painting art and scarification used to mark several meaningful messages within the tribe and as a form of inter-tribal silent communication when they come across each other.
• After this visit, we will drive back to Jinka for your flight back to Addis Ababa.
