A multi-day cultural journey through southern Ethiopia’s Omo Valley takes you from Addis Ababa to Dorze, Karo, Hamar, Dassenech, and Mursi villages. Flights connect the journey at the start and finish, while road travel links the villages, Lake Chamo’s boat safari, the Omo River, and the South Omo Ethnography Museum. Visit the Keyafer and Dimeka markets on their scheduled market days, and see local traditions of body painting, clay-based colors, scarification, ornamental dress, and decorated headwear. An English-speaking driver-guide leads the shared group of up to 13 travelers through these cultural visits.
