Southern Ethiopia – Hamar Village and Kako Market

 

This is our guide Kolo’s home and village. He lives with his parents and siblings in this Hamer Village. There are 53 different tribal groups in Ethiopia.DSC02263

The entrances to the homes are small so their livestock do not enter.

At the Kako market in the Omo valley we visited the animal market first. Our driver got upset with this guide saying he cheated him because he was not a certified guide. We suspect because he could speak English,  he was posing as one. We were pleased with his explanations but he did not have an official receipt to give to our driver after he had paid him.
