This trip allows you to visit most of the famous Omo Valley tribes authentically and uniquely. Southern Ethiopia is rich in ethnic origins, and this area has yielded the first examples of primitive man. Although the migration of people eventually lead to the population of the whole planet, the original tribes of the valleys remain. There is a rich linguistic tradition, with 45 languages spoken by tribes ranging from the Borena and Mursi, to the smaller Karo and Dassanech (or Galeb) tribes. There are a fascinating range of cultural practices, a good example being the way in which they build their homes. The Sidama, Gurage and Dorze use bamboo in their beehive-like constructions, creating sturdy homes tailored to the environment with great endurance. Living along the Lower Omo River, the Karo tribe is one of rich, cultural rituals with the people who are known for their chalk painted bodies and amazing head-dresses.

Ethiopia was almost an unknown country for me, so two weeks of traveling with the local agency Access Eco Trekking Tours has given me a unique opportunity to sink into the rich Ethiopian history, visit amazing archaeological places and cultural monuments (many of which are UNESCO World Heritage), feel different natural landscapes from Danakil Depression to the Simien Mountains, taste excellent food, enjoy music, dance ... and meet heartful people! I would like to thank Mr. Kanu and all the guides and drivers who have contributed to my unforgettable travel experience as they shared knowledge about their country, made me feel safe and gave me the opportunity for a joyful and funny trip with some special challenges such as climbing to the church in the mountain or feeding wild hyenas. I would highly recommend!
