What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada transitioned from Addis Ababa to the more natural, green landscape of southern Ethiopia to explore local tribal cultures. He was particularly impressed by the local 'moringa' dish, which his guide recommended to help settle his stomach after several days of low energy. Despite a weirdly designed hotel bathroom and aggressive flies, Davud expressed great excitement for the authentic experiences awaiting him in the south.
