Additional Information

The stunning Omo Valley, long isolated from the rest of the world, is home to an appealing blend of various small and distinct ethnic communities. These include the Karo, Mursi, and Hamer tribes, each preserving their unique customs and traditions. The lifestyles are as diverse as the tribes themselves. Devoid of any artifacts familiar to other cultures, these tribes have taken a unique approach to expressing their creativity. Both the Turmi and Karo are particularly known for their body painting skills, using clays and local vegetable pigments to draw amazing patterns on their faces, chests, arms, and legs. These designs are crafted purely for amusement and aesthetic appeal, each artist striving to outshine his peers. In this mesmerizing region, you have the privilege of observing age-old customs and rituals, understanding the symbolism that forms an integral part of daily life. It’s indeed an unparalleled wilderness experience.

A quick weekend getaway - worth it!! - This had always been on my list of things to do - visit the Mursi and Hamer tribes. We were very excited to see the new way of life from the cultures of the Omo Valley. Gashaw was also super helpful and quick to respond and come up with an itinerary that fit our schedule, on short notice. I hope to do the full itinerary one day, driving from Addis through Hawassa and Arab Minch.

You will be grounded - I did a 12 Day Trip in Omo Valley in order to see more places and get a better feeling for the people and the culture . It really was a special experience to travel in this very nice part of the world . I strongly recommend this trip which gives you a very good idea how the south of Aethiopia is handling life , day by day . It is not only about colourful and pintoresque , tradition an culture - modesty and respect is required when you see the hard conditions of life .
