Unique experience, tribal area

Key Afer market is one of the oldest tribal social service market every Thursday,between the tribes of Banna,Tsemay and Ari.

This is a place where you will attend one of the most colorful markets in Omo Valley. It takes place once in a week every Thursday starting from 11:00am till late afternoon. In this market you will witness how the economics of an isolated society from civilization with the rest of the world is governed. This is one of the few places on earth where still bartering activity is practiced. This is a wonderful and lively place not to be missed when you come to the omo valley area. It is located some 206Kms from Arbaminch and a 4-5 hours drive where you can reach at the right time when the market is warm; it is also 42Kms before Jinka and for those of you who are already in Jinka on Wednesday night you can visit the Mursi village by driving through Mago National park early in the morning and drive back to Key Afer to reach around noon or an hour late. I gave this place a 5 star because it deserves!!!!!!

Key Afer is a very remote village. Here it is possible to see members of the Ari, Benna and Tsemay tribes.

What a colourful market!!!

Best market

سوق شعبي كل يوم خميس، تتجمع فيه قبائل الهامر و البنا، عموما يتم المبالغة بالاسعار من قبل الباعة، و يمكن بالغالب الشراء بنصف السعر المطلوب في البداية.

زيارة السوق ممتعة.

The South Omo Rift valley it's the very Amazing place. It have very unique cultures around this area "Key Afer"

Little market of the Hamer people. Worth visiting a short stop if on your way.
