Early in the morning drive to Mursi Village. Mursi tribe is the most anticipated of those in the Lower Omo Valley. The unique chance to meet half-naked women with giant lip and ear plates and ritually scarred bodies simply proves irresistible. But visiting comes with a catch.
After lunch drive to Turmi and visit the Hamer tribe. The Hamer are agro-pastoralists in the southern Omo Valley, numbering
about 30,000. They are known for their body adornment, wearing a
multitude of colorful beads. Women adorn their necks with heavy polished iron jewellery. Hamer society consists of a complex system of age grades. Passing from one grade to another involves complicated rituals.
