Ethiopia - Hamar market in Turmi, lower Omo valley
People of the Hamar tribe around Turmi, in the lower Omo valley in south Ethiopia get together to sell animals, wood, hay, herbs and other items as well as to socialize. The lower Omo valley is one of the last areas in Africa where people are living in a very traditional way. Women are often still dressed in animal skins, while men have a special clay coverage on their heads.

Northern Ethiopia
The Johannesburg Branch of the South African Archaeological Society organized a trip to the northern part of Ethiopia in 2009. A flight from Addis Ababa took the members to Axum, the former capital of the Axumite Empire, a lesser known of the great civilisations. Crossing the up to 4500 meter high Semien Mountain Range, they descended to Gondar with its medieval castles, residences of ethiopian emperors during the 16th and 17th centuries. On Lake Tana, the source of the Blue Nile, are very interesting ancient churches and monasteries. A short flight took them to Lalibela with its world-famous rock hewn churches. They continued with 4x4 vehicles to the Afar Region in the north west of Ethiopia, a seldom visited arid desert, where they were fortunate to meet american palaeontologists at the site where Lucy the famous 3.2 million year old hominid was found in 1974. Further east lies the walled city of Harar, one of the holy cities of Islam.
Die Niederlassung der South African Archaeological Society in Johannesburg veranstaltete im Jahre 2009 eine Reise zum nördlichen Teil Äthiopiens. Ein Flug von Addis Ababa brachte die Teilnehmer nach Axum, der ehemaligen Hauptstadt des Aksumitischen Reiches, eine weniger bekannte der großen Zivilisationen. Nachdem sie das bis zu 4500 Meter hohe Gebiet der Semien Berge überquert hatten, erreichten sie Gondar mit seinen mittelalterlichen Festungen, den Wohnsitzen der äthiopischen Herrscher während des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts. Am Tanasee, der Quelle des Blauen Nils, befanden sich historische Kirchen und Klöster. Ein kurzer Flug brachte sie nach Lalibela mit seinen weltbekannten, in Basaltlava gemeißelten Kirchen. Mit 4×4 Fahrzeugen setzten sie ihre Reise zur Afar Region fort, den Nordwesten Äthiopiens. In der trockenen und selten besuchten Wüste hatten sie das Glück, amerikanische Paläontologen an jenem Platz zu treffen, an dem im Jahre 1974 Lucy, der bekannte 3,2 Millionen Jahre alte Menschenaffe, gefunden wurde. Weiter östlich lag die ummauerte Altstadt der islamischen Hochburg Harar.
Ethiopia and the Omo Valley Experience - Raw Unseen Last Remaining Tribes
Ethiopia's South Omo Valley is without a doubt one of the most culturally rich and diverse tribal regions in Africa. Through this video you'll get a chance to see what it was like to be immersed in their culture, daily lives, and rituals. It's a raw experience that you really won't find anywhere else.
From the tribes of Hamar, Mursi, Kara, Dassenech, Ari, and Nyangatom you quickly realize that these are people that have been shielded from the modernization of the world. It's true that tourism and development projects has started to change the region. Everything that you see, smell, touch and breathe is like being invited into a living museum. Think of a trip like this as a human safari of sorts.

Karo Tribe of the Omo Valley, South Ethiopia
The Karo Tribe is the smallest tribe in the Omo Valley, South Ethiopia, and resides along the banks of the Omo River.
The Karo practices flood retreat cultivation, using the rich silt left by receding water levels of the Omo River to grow sorghum, corn, and beans. In addition, they do fishing and raise livestock.
The Karo people are expert face and body painters - painting themselves to look more attractive or intimidating to rival tribes. They cover themselves in white markings, or spots that are similar to the guineafowl.
Karo men carry guns to protect their livestock or to symbolise their status in the community.
