  Your guide will warmly welcome you upon arrival at Jinka BCO Airport and provide a brief orientation before beginning your Lower Omo Valley adventure. Depending on your arrival time and local road conditions, we’ll travel toward the Mursi community, one of the most distinctive indigenous communities of the Lower Omo Valley. You’ll have the opportunity to visit a Mursi village, learn about their traditional way of life, cultural practices, and relationship with the surrounding environment. After the Mursi visit, return toward Jinka and take a fascinating walk through the greener, mountainous villages surrounding the town to visit the Aari community. The Aari are primarily agriculturalists who have retained many traditional practices. During the walk, you’ll have the opportunity to observe aspects of their everyday life, agricultural traditions, homes, and relationship with the surrounding highlands. If time permits, we’ll also visit the research Centre museum of the different tribes.
