  • Explore the remote market town of Jinka, home to the Mursi people, well known for their elaborate lip plates made of clay
  • Spend time visiting Mursi villages where the women are known for their body scarification
  • Visit Hamer villages where the locals shave and colour their hair, oil their bodies and decorate themselves with beads and bracelets worn around their arms and legs
  • Possibility to witness bull jumping or Donga (stick fighting)
  • Come with us on this wild journey that takes you through some of the most remote parts of Africa and to the most incredible tribes in Ethiopia; the Surma; Mursi.

    Ethiopia is a country that is rich with colourful history, amazing wildlife, breathtaking scenery and fascinating tribal groups that have resisted pressures of the modern world to hold onto their ancient traditions. The Surma tribe are so remote that it can take up to five days to reach them by car, stop at various sites along the way to enjoy the magnificent landscape of Africa with rolling hills and barren deserts.

    Explore Addis Ababa, the largest city in Ethiopia and home of the ‘Mercato’ one of the largest open-air markets in Africa. Discover Mago National Park, Ethiopia’s newest nature reserve and home to the Mursi tribe and herds of African Elephants, Grant ’s gazelle and Burchill’s Zebra. The Mursi are known for their body scarification and (among the women) the wearing of lip plates. If you’re lucky, you will get the chance to witness the coming of age ritual practised by this tribe of bull jumping.]]>
