We were two friends traveling on an 8-day Omo Valley tribes tour with Aman Ethiopia Tours, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. During the trip, we were able to meet more than 8 different tribes, visit two unique tribal markets, and experience the real cultural diversity of southern Ethiopia.
One of the highlights was spending one night camping in a Hamer village, which gave us an authentic insight into local life. The rest of the nights were spent in very good accommodations at each destination, better than we expected for such a remote area.
Our driver and guide, Niko, was absolutely brilliant. His knowledge, organization, and strong connections with local guides made everything run smoothly. Thanks to him, every village visit felt respectful, well-arranged, and meaningful.
The boat tour on Lake Chamo was another highlight — we saw hippos, crocodiles, and many bird species, which was incredible. Visiting the Dorze village was also an amazing cultural experience that we will never forget.
Although Aman Ethiopia Tours is more expensive than some other companies, the quality of service, professionalism, comfort, and overall experience fully justified the price. Everything was well planned, safe, and handled with care.
We highly recommend Aman Ethiopia Tours to anyone who wants a well-organized, authentic, and unforgettable Omo Valley experience.
I did a 7-night/8-day Omo Valley Tribe tour. Mine was a private tour. It was absolutely incredible. I had the opportunity to meet with many different tribes, including the Dorze, Hamur, Karo, Yangatum, Ari, and my favorite, the Mursi.
Along the way, we ate amazing local food, including deep fried fish, kitfo, and raw beef. My driver Niko knew all of the best local spots with fresh food that was safe to eat.
I had a local guide with each tribe we visited. I was given tours of each village and the opportunity to take an unlimited amount of photos and videos. The people that live in Omo Valley are so exotic, and so beautiful, that it was an absolute honor and a privilege to meet them.
The hotel accommodations along the way were rustic, but in Omo Valley, they appeared to be the best available.
The transport vehicle was a very nice and comfortable SUV, modern, and with great AC.
In conclusion, I was very happy with this tour. If you are thinking of doing the Omo Valley Tour, do not hesitate to book with Aman Ethiopia Tours.
I want to thank Amanuel for setting up the tour and my driver Niko for being so kind, patient, and accommodating.
Tip: If possible, be extremely generous with your tips. Remember where you are and that the people in Omo Valley live in very poor conditions. There are many who are sick or hungry and your tips help them to survive. If I could do the trip over, before visiting with each tribe, I would have asked my driver to stop at the market to buy bags of food, soap, and bottled water for families in the villages. They would have been so grateful. Something to consider if you do the tour.
