Dorze is an ethnic group in Ethiopia, primarily located in the southern part of the country, known for their unique culture and traditions. They are famous for their distinctive woven bamboo houses, which are large, circular structures with conical thatched roofs. The Dorze are skilled in weaving and produce intricate, colorful textiles, often used for clothing and ceremonial purposes. They also practice agriculture, growing crops like barley, maize, and enset (a staple food crop).

Reviews

Beautiful walk through impressive landscapes

Blue Nile gorge, Jemma valley and Portuguese bridge are absolutely amazing places of fantastic beauty. If you are in Ethiopia for only one day it is for sure the must-visit place. It would give a lot of unforgettable memories (and photos) to those who prefer walking in nature over city sightseeing. Our guide Demeke was very friendly, punctual, respectable guy with perfect English and a huge amount of knowledge regarding the tour. Highly recommended, 10/10
