Bull jumping is the Hamer coming-of-age ceremony. A young man runs across the backs of a line of cattle, surrounded by family, music and dancing. The families decide the dates, often only days before, so tell me your travel dates and I will find out what is planned.
Detailed itineraries are in English for now. Write to me in your language, I will reply.
Every itinerary can be changed to fit your dates, pace and budget.
We drive to the Hamer village in the morning. The ceremony takes most of the day: the gathering of families, the women's dances and songs, and in the late afternoon the jump itself. I explain each part as it happens and where to stand. Overnight in Turmi.
If it is Monday, we visit the Turmi market. Otherwise we visit a Hamer village near Turmi before driving back to Jinka.
Fill in the form and send it to me on WhatsApp or by email. I usually reply within a day.
