Africa's Rift Valley is home to some remarkable tribal groups,
and on this adventurous trip we'll seek them out, 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. We'll meet the Hamer, who practice bull jumping as
an initiation rite, the Banna and the Arbore, whose lifestyles have
changed little for centuries, and visit a fascinating Rastafarian
project. Crossing southern Ethiopia we reach the Kenyan border,
through semi-desert to Samburu National Park for some game viewing.
