Konso Cultural Centre

Reviewed By Patty6-13 - Davis, United States

One of 12 villages in Konso named a UNESCO World Heritage Site to preserve the 800 year old cultural traditions and stone walls encircling the village. Each family has its own compound within the village. Our guide, Belacheu, gave us an excellent tour and explanations of the way of life being maintained here. Even the farming terraces surrounding the area are part of the heritage site. The children were endlessly fascinated though wary of pictures. Definitely worth a morning spent!

Dasenech Village

Reviewed By G8287MJroberts - Westbury, United States

There are many tribal villages available to visit in this vast area. As you can see from the main Tripadvisor photo, this village was totally unique in the use of corrugated metal in their huts rather than traditional building materials. We were told that the traditional building materials were no longer available. Village life was quite interesting and the local people entertained us with a series of traditional dances, some of which they invited visitors to join. For whatever reason, the village had more paperwork and formalities involved in the visit than the other tribes we visited in the Omo River Valley. The Dasenech village is well worth a visit.
