Tour overview

The southern cultural route usually known as Omo Valley in Southern Ethiopia is a little visited area of Ethiopia containing several of the most vibrant and fascinating tribes and ethnic groups. The charming costumes, colorful rituals and celebrations, arts, crafts, music, local market and dance of the Dorze, Konso, Ari, Benna, Hamer, Mursi, Karo, Geleb, Arbore and Borena people are special ones to name a few. In the Omo Valley region, many of the tribal groups have changed little over hundreds of years and they offer the visitor extraordinary insight into a variety of traditional cultures. On the trip, you get truly off the beaten track, exploring little visited villages and vibrant tribal markets of the Southern Ethiopia.  The Mountain Nyala and the almost blackish–Menelik’s bushbuck in the Bale Mountains–National Park, spot Ethiopian wolves on an excursion to the moorlands of the Sanetti Plateau and look out for by chance black-maned lions, leopard and the Bale monkey in the Harenna Forest.
