Upon your arrival at Jinka airport, our Jinka team will be waiting for you at the exit. We will then drive 70 km to the Mursi village, stopping for breakfast along the way. The Mursi tribe, located in Mago National Park, is known for the distinctive tradition of their women inserting circular clay discs in their lower lips upon reaching maturity. You’ll arrive at the village in the morning, allowing time to explore and interact with the Mursi people, sharing in their culture and experiences.

Afterward, we will return to Jinka for lunch. Following lunch, we will embark on a 140 km drive to Turmi. Along the way, you’ll encounter the Benna stick-walking boys. Upon reaching Turmi, you’ll visit the Hamar tribe, who live among the bush-covered hills on the eastern side of the Omo Valley. The Hamar people are known for unique rituals, such as the cattle-leaping ceremony, marking the transition to adulthood. If a bull-jumping ceremony is taking place, we will attend this significant cultural event, where young Hamar women also undergo ceremonial whipping as a display of loyalty to their kinsmen.

Overnight stay in Turmi.

In the early morning, we will drive to the Kara village. The Kara tribe, one of the smallest in the region with a population of about 3,000, is known for their mastery of body painting, used to enhance their beauty. Today, you’ll visit their second-largest village, Dus, which is rarely visited by tourists but holds great cultural significance for the Kara people. You’ll spend time with the tribe, learning about their traditions and lifestyle.

Afterward, we will drive back to Jinka, marking the end of the tour.
