Arba Minch to Jinka

An early start for our drive to Jinka, a market town in southern Ethiopia, located in the hills north of the Tama Plains. Although only around 240 km, the roads we bumpy and we had to ascend over some highland villages, then down and across the Rift Valley plain before winding up again and onto Jinka, which took about 5 hours.
We passed through a town where there seemed to be a celebration going on, which was interesting.
Also, I took a picture of a tree that had bee hives hanging from the branches.
A brief lunch stop, then onto Jinka.
Jinka is an important center for at least sixteen indigenous ethnic groups as well as others from the rest of the country. This region is inhabited by various peoples such as the Konso, Tseme, Benna, and Ari.Read more
