Due to some unforeseen flight changes in our schedule, we didn’t have much time to explore the Konso Village, but we did have enough time to experience this amazing cultural heritage site, to taste some local food. Visiting the village was a humbling experience, an area of Ethiopia that has been through famine, and to sit down and sample some food from a local family in the village, food they had grown and prepared, was truly special. It is important to remember how fortunate we are to have food on the table.
Konso Village - We began the day in Addis Ababa, where we flew to Arba Minch in southern Ethiopia. After having a quick lunch, some delicious Ethiopian food fish, we drove the bumpy road to Konso. Konso culture and villages are a UNESCO world heritage site, for their preservation of culture and traditions, and it was incredibly special to visit. We toured the village, and I was amazed how advanced their systems were, and their construction.
It was evening and in one of the homes we met a lady who was cooking the family meal for dinner. She was cooking sorghum, moringa leaves, and cassava. It’s not the most flavorful food you’ll taste, but cooked with love, ingredients grown right there, it was a huge honor to share some of their food. It’s a remember of how privileged and fortunate we are to have such abundance.
Thanks to Dessie from Go Addis Tours ( for arranging everything on this trip.

KONSO:
Named after the Konso people, the town with 5,500ha of surrounding landscape has been declared a World Heritage Site for its traditional landscape with terraced agriculture and typical villages in 2011. Important features are the unique designs of the houses, the organization of the 32 dwellings behind 1 to 6 rows of defensive stone walls as well as nearby fossil beds. The communities also build traditional reservoirs to supply the villages with water during the dry season. The terraces are built behind up to 5m high stone walls to prevent soil erosion and maximize the collection of rainwater, so as to enhance agricultural production.The wooden statues, called Wakas or Wagas and stone steles, represent important family members as well as heroic events at burial sites. Villagers will gather at the Mora, a public gathering spot where the pafta, a large hut, and Olahitas, the central location for cultural ceremonies. In these areas they would perform rituals, dances, food preparations, and weaving; all of the wonderful aspects of Konso heritage.
The architecture of the Konso villages is is different from traditional houses and dwellings elsewhere. The Konso people live in fortified villages enclosed by stone walls.
Ethiopia - Konso Tribe Villages
The Konso tribe lives in Southern Ethiopia. Accompagnied by many children we walk around in two villages surrounded by defensive stone walls and look inside the uniquely designed dwellings. We also see the famous wagas (grave markers) and New York, an eroding plateau that reminds of Bryce Canyon.
The traditional Konso villages are located around Konso. Each village consists of nine compounds, one for each clan. They are separated by wooden fences and the round huts are close together. The huts have entrances where you only get on all fours. The interior is very primitive: an elevation to sit, bare animal skins to sleep, a place for food supplies and a fire place in the middle without a chimney. There is no marriage within the clan and boys do not sleep at home, but in a community house. The village has a few places with generation piles: every eighteen years a new generation of leaders is selected and then new generation piles are set up while the old ones are made smaller (the old piles, not the old leaders). Clan leaders and the Konso king live in great loneliness to be able to speak impartially. Wagas (wooden statues) are erected for deceased warriors, depicting the warrior and his victims (humans and animals). Around the villages are well-made terraces. Groups of men and women work the land with primitive wooden tools. We visit the villages of Machekie and Gesergio. Gesergio is nicknamed New York because it is next to sandstone formations reminiscent of skyscrapers. Local beer is drunk for € 0.08 per gourd.

The magical place in konso Ethiopia
Ethiopia has so may things to offer. from its amazing history, monuments, different cultures and tribes to a crazy amazing magical landscape.
konso is a day trip from Arbamench and ofers a beautiful land espe like this one. I was not expecting to find what I found there.
The legend of this place goes something like this
The konso clan leader focala tulma is known to have powers.
He wears a silver bracelet and owns a Rhinoceros
Horn that was given to him by a local hero
And it’s Believed that they also contain his magical power.
The horns are out for public display only on special occasions when there is a religious ceremonies.
One day his sons decided to still his bracelet And the Rhinoceros horns and run away.
When they arrived to this land they lost the bracelet. After looking for it for some time
They decided to spend the night in there
When they wake up they see the bracelet sparkling from faraway.
When they go after it, it disappears and appears in another spot
They realized the bracelet was doing this to get them cought.
So they stabed the land with the Rhinoceros horns and cursed the land to have the form it has today.
And that is the legend of this beautiful place.

Konso People - Ethiopia
Although less celebrated than the colourful Ethnic groups of South Omo Valley of Ethiopia, Konso must rank among the most astounding Ethiopian indigenous people. Mixed agriculturalists, the konso make the most of the hard, rocky slopes that characterise the relatively dry and infertile homeland through a combination of extensive rock terracing, the use of animal dung as fertiliser, crop rotation and hard work.
The most outwardly distinctive feature of konso country is the aesthetically pleasing towns and villages.
Every village consists of a number of sub communities, each of which is centred upon Morra or communal house. This is a tall building with an open sided ground floor supported by Juniper trunks, and a sharply angled thatched roof covering and a wooden ceiling. The ground floor serves as a shaded place where villagers - men, boys and girls, but not grown women - can relax, gossip, play and make important communal decisions.
