Omo Valley Tour

Thu, 16 Nov 2017 16:32:11 +0000

These tours visit the tribes of Ethiopia’s rapidly changing Omo Valley. Of the many small tribes in this area we regularly visit the Hamer and Banna, the Mursi, the Ari, the Dasanech, the Konso and Dorze. Less frequently we also visit the Karo. Our itineraries are scheduled to include some of the local weekly markets in the region. Ethiopian Airlines now flies between Addis Ababa and Arba Minch and between Addis Ababa and Jinka. The long, but scenic drive from Addis Ababa to the Omo Valley is no longer required to visit this region.
