2024 Jinka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

Tribes in the Mango National Park are real.

( I TOOK GREAT CARE IN EXAMINING ALL PICTURES SO THAT THEY DO NO REVEAL ANY NUDITY AND DO NOT VIOLATE COMMUNITY RULES) There are many tribes that share the land along the Omo River in the southern most parts of Ethiopia. These tribes have been there for thousands of years and they are truly fascinating, warm and very resilient people. If you’re traveling to either northern Kenya or in the southern part of Ethiopia I suggest you ask your guide to help you arrange a visit to one or more of these Tribal Community’s. I was not allowed to post any pictures showing any private parts so the ones I have are very limited because most of the tribes do not wear much clothing like we do in the west, the temperatures can exceed 40°C and clothing is just not an option. The children were so grateful just for a mouth full of water from a plastic bottle. The women were crafts-makers and their jewelry was remarkable with all natural bead work that was dyed bright colors from natural ingredients. Their clothing was all handmade with striking colors and style. All the men from the tribes are gone to either hunt or work in the fields. The women are left with the children to raise as that is their customs. #africa #ethiopia #travel #wanderlust #travelling #traveller #travelphotography #instatravel #adventure #journey #travelgram #travelpassion #travellifestyle #MyTripVlog #wonderlust #trip #ilovetravel #traveling #traveladdicted #travelgoals #traveljournal #traveladdict #bestvacations #travelphotos #traveler #tourist #travelblog #tourism #2023travelwish

They rarely communicate with each other and often fight over territory. Select representative tribes to visit, most of which are in the south near Turmi, close to Kenya. 1️⃣Dasenech: To reach this village, you need to ride in a canoe made from fig trees, offering the closest depiction of African portraits. They are also the only tribe that still practices circumcision, which is illegal now, but still exists in remote tribes. There is a small market in the village square every day, selling handicrafts. Visitors can barter, with clothes being quite popular. 2️⃣Hamer: Also known as the 'Red Mud Tribe', they have the Bull jumping ceremony.

They move every month or two because the grass for the animals is depleted. They don't eat guinea fowl, only the eggs, and no one knows why. They are aggressive, so speak less when entering their village. The lip plates are made of clay, and the ear plates are made of wood. 5️⃣Dorze village: Didn't visit, only know they produce attractive small scarves. 6️⃣ Banna: The stilts tribe.

I thought that in today's modern society, I have long since taken off the original society. I didn't expect to come to the Dimeku Market in Ethiopia. I can also see how strangers can change things. A distant, magical, primitive, ancient country with a history of more than 3,000 years of civilization, retaining some of the most primitive peoples in the world. At the market, the women of the Hamar family spread the pots, the beasts, the animal bone necklaces, and of course the big hair dyes on the ground, waiting for the buyer. Trading is mostly done in the form of barter, but currency is also circulated.

In Ethiopia, there is a peculiar custom that men use whip to whip a woman's body to show love. What is God doing? The women of the Hamar ethnic group are the most beautiful women in the Mohe Valley. Most of them are naked and covered with a piece of cowhide or sheepskin in the lower body as a skirt. The hair is braided into countless small braids, coated on the body and hair. A mixture of butter and earth, bright brown. The women of the Hamar nation will begin to leave scars on their bodies when they are 12 years old. At the ceremony of the adult ceremony, they rushed to the man who requested the last successful jump, and beat himself with a rattan. The whips are everywhere, the skin is fleshy and bloody, and the girls express their strong love and blessings to the hoppers.

The Golden Card in southern Ethiopia is a remote town. If it weren't for the people living in this neighborhood with a lot of primitive tribes, probably no one would be willing to come. It is dusty, inconvenient, the network is extremely slow, and it often stops water and electricity. Everything shows that it seems to be far from modern civilization. There are several bazaars in the town of jinka. Every time the agreed days are gathered, people from the surrounding tribes come and are very lively. It is said that the market on Saturday is the biggest, not only can you see the Hamo tribe, the Bangna tribe, but also many people of the lip dish.

In the Golden Card in southern Ethiopia, no one will pay attention to Abushe, a 7-year-old who lives on the streets of Kinca. Abushe suffers from Waddenberg's syndrome because the color of the eyes is too different from others, and others are not willing to approach him, thinking that he is a cursed alien. But if you see his eyes, you will see incredible blue eyes.

After leaving the southernmost Turmi, we have to turn back and go north to reach the gold card, which is completely different from the terrain of Tourmi, and enters the forest area. This is a group of children who have seen stilts on the road. Spend five dollars to take a photo with them. We live in a tent hotel deep in the forest, a very interesting place, even the restaurant is a tree house. Although the dark gratitude at night is very scary, I can hear the wolf all night at night and wake up in the morning, which is a very unique experience.

The legend about Ethiopia's Jaga Sheffield coffee has been meticulously remembered, how to prepare to drink once in the hometown of this coffee, but I did not expect that the first time I drank, it was in the original tribe of the Oum Valley. On the way back from the tribe to the gold card, I saw four undressed children standing on a dead tree, waving to us passionately, so I parked the motorcycle on the side of the road, responded enthusiastically, the children Climbing down the tree, pulling our hands to the mountain, I understand, it is for us to be a guest at home. If you have just arrived in the Oum Valley, we are daring to do so, but it has been five or six days, and it has been safe to feel here, so I will go with confidence. Where the place, the children's mother went to fetch water, and then gave us the tribe's exclusive "coffee", ground coffee beans mixed with herbs, the taste is a bit pungent, but the guests are always not good to refuse the owner's Good intentions, forced to drink, I did not expect, even cured my cold. In this Aum Valley, with this courage not afraid of death, it saved a lot of expenses and gained a lot of unforgettable experiences.

People living in the city enjoy the prosperity and convenience of the city. It is extremely simple for us to get the things we need for life. People no longer need to buy items in the form of a market. In the remote Omo Valley, primitive tribes still retain the tradition of the market. It will be held once or twice a week, and each market will sell different items depending on the time and place. The market is held on a large open space. There are special rules. If the market is scheduled to be held at 10 am, people who hear the whistle will start trading. If you arrive at the market before ten o'clock, you can only watch it first and not buy it. Each tribe has its own territory and does not affect each other. There is no competing relationship between the tribes. At the market, there are not many types of goods that people use to trade, mainly agricultural products. Some tribes sell green vegetables and small tomatoes. This shows that the tribe may live next to the river and they have land to grow. Other tribes may sell some of the game's game, so the tribe may be living in the mountains. Some tribes only sell honey, and they may live in areas where flowers are grown in large quantities. Some tribes have no agricultural products to sell, they sell pottery wood carvings or decorations. Of course, there are also firewood.

In the Jinka and other trucks that went to the tribe to pull the wood, I couldn't wait for two days, so I started to make other plans. I always asked the locals to go to the tribe on the street. Then the owner of a hotel finally took care of us, saying that he had Two motorcycles, soft-hardened, rented the boss's two motorcycles, and then went to the Hamer tribe according to the local hand-painted map. The google map is completely useless here, we follow the mountain road, oh, a little bit feels more and more original, the road is getting worse, this is even into the Omo Valley in the Oum Valley. Slowly began to encounter tribal people who were decorated with strange and painted. Finally arrives at a trimmed mountain road with piled gravel hills on both sides. Under the huge cactus tree, a team of Hamer tribes, or ragged, or barefoot! While singing, I looked at us curiously. Then there are people who look like elders to wave us in. We put the motorcycles very well, bring the apples and biscuits bought on the gold card market, and show them well, finally let the tribe accept us.
