Addis Ababa<- ->Nairobi (ZEN)

From: $1705.00+ Kitty

Overview

24 days between Addis Ababa and Nairobi or vice versa...

Africa's Rift Valley is home to some remarkable tribal groups and visiting them is one of the biggest highlights of this adventurous trip, that and heading deep into southern Ethiopia's Omo Valley. It's a challenging region to travel in, and overlanding provides the only real access to these isolated communities. You’ll meet the Hamer, who practice bull jumping as an initiation rite, the Bana and the Arbore, whose lifestyles have changed little for centuries, and visit Awassa children's project. Crossing southern Ethiopia, you’ll reach the Kenyan border, through semi-desert to Samburu National Park for some game viewing. The Samburu people live here and you’ll spend time learning about their culture before going on safari in Lake Nakuru, ending our trip in Nairobi.
