This trip takes you the south of Ethiopia to meet and share the experience of the Omo valley people. Inspired by their environment of wild trees, exotic flowers and lush vegetation these tribes use colorful make-up, bright yellows, startling whites and rich earth-reds created from the clay soil. The Omo Valley is one of the most culturally rich tribal regions on the African continent. They wear flamboyant accessories and brilliant head decorations to become a walking body of art. As a celebration of themselves, they paint each other’s bodies and make bold decisions about their outfits motivated by the sheer fun of creating and showing off to other members of the tribe.
