Omo Valley Tribal Safari Tour
Taking this route will provide a complete discovery to the tribes of Omo Valley, the most fascinating on the continent of Africa and around the world who staunchly keep their unique and so diversified traditional costumes, customs and beliefs.
When visiting the Omo Valley, planning the dates of the tour with the market days of the different villages, most particularly with those at Dimeka and Key Afer are important and make your tour more interesting. We will help you in designing the programs to fit with market days of each tribal village taking place at different days of the week. Please contact us for discussion and detail tour program.
Visitors who want to take photos of the ethnic groups in the Omo are expected to pay for each photograph.
The Itinerary can easily be adjusted to fit our clients’ schedules and special interests. Furthermore, it could easily be extended to take in some other famous parks such as the Bale Mountain national park or to combine with other routes.
