Southern Ethiopia: Omo Valley Private Tour

The Lower Omo Valley is one of the most ethnically diverse regions in Ethiopia, and even the African continent, thanks to the cultural diversity of over a dozen tribes. The valley is mostly a dry savanna expanse fed by the Omo River, one of their most important resources. Along the river and throughout the valley region, hundreds of small tribal villages pepper the landscape, each of them with their unique customs and even their own language. The Lower Omo Valley region has been declared a Unesco World Heritage site. Each tribe has a different dress and tradition. Some even follow a religion, including Islam and Christianity while others are animist. Some tribes are settled agro-pastoralists, while others are nomadic or semi-nomadic cattle herders. It's just a very diverse world in this valley!
