After breakfast, take a flight to Jinka. You will be met upon arrival and drive to Turmi Hamer Village. The Hamer are known for their unique custom of “bull jumping,” which initiates a boy into manhood, practice of body adornment and wearing a multitude of colorful beads. The men of the tribe will often style their hair with clay, creating a sculpture of sorts that is styled with various pigments, mostly red and white, and in smoothing the clay they create very small protruding tube in which they house ostrich feathers from their hunts.
Spend the night at Emerald Lodge in Turmi.
