Step into one of Africa’s most culturally rich regions on this 4-day Omo Valley tribal adventure. Starting in Arbaminch and ending in Jinka, this journey takes you deep into the lives of Ethiopia’s indigenous tribes, including the Hamar, Dassanech, Karo, and Mursi people.

Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll explore real villages—not tourist set-ups—and witness tribal ceremonies, traditions, and daily life. Whether it’s sitting around a fire in a Hamar village, crossing the Omo River to meet the Dassanech, or witnessing the famous Mursi lip-plates, every moment is respectful and unforgettable
