Trips

Every trip starts in Jinka and is tailored to you. Send me your dates and group size and I will reply with a route and a quote.

2–3 days · Village stay

Stay with a Hamer family

Time with one family instead of a short visit. You sleep in the village, share coffee by the fire and follow the daily routine with the cattle. A good fit for travellers, photographers and filmmakers. Tent or traditional house.
