Jinka to Turmi and a tribal market

We continued towards Turmi on a bumpy but straight road. An interesting stop to wander around a large market selling everything from vegetables to cows and goats.
This area is home to the Hamer People and is a meeting point for the various tribes, such as the Ari, and the Benna. The Banna are known for decorating their bodies with clay, and the young men seemed quite muscular. The Hamer are a bit taller and are known for their body decorations, and the women for colouring their hair with ochre decorations. Very interesting, particularly walking around the animal market.
We also saw some camels beside the road on the drive to Turmi, which was a bit of a surprise.Read more
