We are joined by a young Mbororo man called Adaamu who speaks fluent Oromo and tells me, in this language, about the migratory route of his residential cluster. He asks me where I learned my Oromo. The answer is "in Kenya". Adaamu then replies that he has travelled almost as far as Kenya as well. He has crossed the rivers Baro, Gilo, and Akobo in Ethiopian territory (see map 2). In their seasonal migration, the members of his group travel about 700 km, as the crow flies, from the northern turning point, which is located here, to the southern turning point.
