Visit Mursi and Departure

Early in the morning /7:00 AM/ the vehicles set off into the rugged landscape of the Mago National Park, one of the most secluded natural areas of Ethiopia and with a variety of beautiful landscapes such as savannah interspersed with desert, mountains, rolling hills and rivers. During and just after the rainy season, the area is less accessible. Even in the dry season, the ride through the park can be heavy and adventurous. Along the way you’ll visit the Mursi people. Mursi women wear large round clay discs in their lower lip which according to some, symbolizes beauty or social status. Mursi men decorate their bodies and faces with white paint as a sign of strength. A visit to the Mursi is complicated and the people are not especially friendly. We strongly recommend that you listen keenly to all agreements that the guide makes, including those regarding the taking of photos in the village. You will return to Jinka Airport and depart.
