$700
Price varies by group size
Four of the Omo Valley's most culturally distinct communities in three days — each with a different landscape, a different social structure, and a level of detail most tours never reach. Meet the Mursi, whose women's lip plates carry a precise bride-wealth value: a large plate is worth 60 cattle, a smaller one 40. In Turmi, encounter the Hamar, whose men maintain their clay-and-ostrich-feather hairstyle on a wooden neck-rest called a borkotos. On Day 2, visit the Karo of Korcho — a community of only 1,500 to 2,000 people across three villages on the Omo River — and the Nyangatom, whose elders wear ivory lip plugs. Evening Evangadi dance in Turmi subject to availability. Private 4x4, professional English-speaking guide, and full board throughout.

The Omo Valley, often more precisely called the Lower Omo Valley, is a place like no other. Home to a number of tribal communities, the variety and diversity of life—truly a melting pot of humanity—will blow you away. We think it's a must-visit if you want to understand Ethiopia and Africa more broadly. The concentration of experience and variety, often so juxtaposed to your own daily life, forces you to reflect on what it means to be human in today's world. The Lower Omo Valley region has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since the discovery of human remains dating back nearly 2.5 million years. As you explore the region, you'll discover fortified hilltop settlements, terraced fields, anthropomorphic grave markers, and rock engravings dating back 5000 years. The Omo also has some beautiful landscapes; Nech Sar National Park frames much of the region with mountains, lakes, and forests and harbours 70-plus mammal species, as well as prodigious crocodiles and the endemic animal
