Jinka holidays

Jinka is the administrative capital of South Omo and has a quaint atmosphere. It has an elevation of 1490m above sea level and stands above the rest of the Omo Valley. Jinka is home to the German-funded Ethnographic Museum and is connected to Addis Ababa by air as well as road. Market day is Saturday and Mago National Park, 40 kilometres south by unpaved orad, is a nearby attraction. Jinka's amenities include digital telephone access, postal service, electricity provided by a diesel generator, a bank and a hospital. In May 2009 Jinka increased its electrical service from 16 to 24 hours a day when the town obtained additional generators.
