SORA Tours Ethiopia : 4WD action at its best .... another rough day for our heavily loaded #LandCruisers roughing it by the side of Buska Mountain enroute from #Arbore to #Weito in the Lower Omo Valley of SouthWest Ethiopia.
November was truly rough for many of us!
Venture to Lake Wonchi, a hidden gem cradled by the lush green crater walls of a long extinct volcano! Marvel at its beauty and experience the serenity of being not only surrounded by, but be a part of, nature itself!!!

#ErtaAle_Volcano Update : 03 July 2023
Erta Ale Volcano is currently emitting increased thermal radiation, which is stronger than in recent months.
This creates an anomaly that occupies much of the south crater. It is possible that a larger opening in the lid formed over the lava lake, or that a lava flow flowed over the solidified surface.
Alelobad Hotsprings, a highly active geyser, is located in the Afar Region 614kms North East of Addis Ababa, 28kms South East of the regional capital Semera and 16kms South of Dubti town.
A less publicized destination, it is a must-see attraction for tourists travelling in/out of the Danakil Depression.

Donga, locally also known as #Saghinay, is a ritual ceremony of the Suri tribe members (men only) held in Kibish and Tulgit Villages of the remote Upper Omo Valley in South West Ethiopia.
It is celebrated for numerous reasons as a competition between young men of different villages within the community. With protective gears to the sensitive areas (head, knees, elbows, etc), it is a regulated game where an elder man of the community with a Donga stick follows up on strict adherence of the regulations - dropping the stick in between to stop the contest in case of breaking the rules.
It is usually held in seasons after good grain harvest or other occurrences of positive impact/influence in the community.

Timkat is a huge religious celebration in Ethiopia. It happens on January 19th (or January 20th in leap years) and is all about celebrating Jesus' baptism. Ethiopian Orthodox Christians celebrate with processions, singing, dancing, and prayers. It's a very colorful and joyful event. Even though it's mainly a religious celebration, many families come together to share news as well. Timkat has 3 parts: Ketera, Timkat, and Kidus Michael. On Ketera day, people take replicas of the Ark of the Covenant to a special place for the Timkat sprinkling.
On Timkat day, there are special prayers and the sprinkling of water. Lastly, on Kidus Michael day, replicas from Saint Michael churches are returned to their churches, and it is a special day for young people because they may meet their future spouse.
Timkat was added to a special list by UNESCO called the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2019.

The Kara tribe of the Lower Omo Valley are one of the most authentic tribes in the region that to this day have retained their cultural values.
Their population size is about 5,000 settled in Korcho, Dus and Labuk villages, all three on the banks of the mighty Omo River.
Here is one of their rarely-sighted traditional dancing that mainly takes place once a year in June during their annual ritual bull-jumping ceremony.
Join us on one of our exciting and much insightful cultural tours to the Omo Valley!!!

For many Ethiopian tourism colleagues that have had the pleasure of driving in the Omo Valley for the past 10+ years, we all have lived to see so many changes over the years.
One such impressive development this past year is the completion of construction of a bridge over the notorious #Kizo_River enroute to #Korcho, #Dus, #La_Buk and #Kangaten!
For all colleagues and travelers alike that have done flooded river crossings in the Omo Valley, you know what this means!
