Benishangul Gumz Region - Assosa City Tour

THE TOUR

Benishangul Gumuz is home to various ethnic groups. The capital city Assosa, is where Gumuz, Berta, Amhara, Tigrai and Shinasha tribes contribute to the rich tapestry of local culture each with distinct languages, traditions, and ways of life. This diversity enriches the cultural landscape, offering visitors a unique opportunity to experience different customs, festivals, and culinary delights. Historically, Benishangul Gumuz was a significant crossroads for trade routes, facilitating exchanges between different communities and regions. Unfortunately, the region was also affected by the trans-Saharan slave trade during the 19th century.
The discovery of gold deposits has attracted both local and foreign interest, leading to mining activities that have shaped the region's economy.
