Surma Trekking

The Surma are found on the west bank of the Omo. Like some of their cousins on the other bank they go in for body painting and (the women) wearing lip plates. This is an opportunity to see unspoiled wilderness, with a variety of game and more than 300-bird species. And of course the Surma people themselves, their rituals, dance and Donga stick fighting.
