Best time to visit Jinka:

Dry Season (October to February): This period is generally considered the best time to visit Southern Ethiopia. The weather is drier, cooler, and more comfortable for exploring the diverse cultures, natural landscapes, and national parks. It's a good time for cultural visits to tribes in the Omo Valley and for wildlife viewing in places like Nechisar National Park.

Rainy Season (June to September): Southern Ethiopia experiences its main rainy season during these months. Travel can be more challenging due to heavy rainfall, muddy roads, and potential travel disruptions. However, this season might showcase vibrant landscapes and is a good time for witnessing agricultural activities.

Short Rainy Season (March to May): Similar to other regions in Ethiopia, this period sees a shorter rainy season. It might have lighter rains compared to the main rainy season, but some regions might still experience showers. It's a transition period before the drier months.
