Biking Tour at Omo valley

Country forums / Africa / Ethiopia

Including my 5 friends, we have enjoyed our biking tour to the Omo valley as well as Yavello. Apart from little problem at Nyangatom (Bume) due to muddy road, we completely happy with a trip to the south. a new road to jinka is really good and also the road to tourmi.
we haven't expected karo as touristic place until we reach there and found all the people paint themselves as soon as they hear the running engine of the car. Infact our Tour organizer Mafi from Nomadic Ethiopia has told us to scape Karo village called Korcho but to go to Dus as he mention to us Dus is not that much spoiled and not to many tourists go there.
At tourmi we went to the village around 15 km south using a guide called Kalla from tourmi town. he is a helpful guy. we stayed an overnight at his village. Now we are heading to Harar for 5 days tour. Specially for the one who want to do a biking tour to Ethiopia we definitely recommend omo valley as the best place and Mesfin (Mafi ) as one of the best tour operator
