Additional Information

This intimate photographic journey takes you to the far-flung tribes of the Omo Valley, offering an opportunity to engage with some of Africa’s last remaining authentic ethnic groups. The journey leads you to the eastern segment of the Omo River where you’ll encounter the Konso, Hamer, Kara, and Nyangatom tribes. Expect to spend several days living within their communities, learning about their way of life, participating in ceremonies and rituals, and capturing moments through your lens. There’ll be plenty of opportunities during different lighting conditions to photograph their daily routines, cattle herding practices, farming, body and face paint customs, and more. Isolated for thousands of years due to its remote location, the Omo Valley represents a unique and rarely-documented photographic paradise for anthropologists and photographers alike.

Great time in the omo valley - We were lucky in travelling at a time with few tourists but had a fantastic time. The company was well organised and very honest. We had good information on the trip and what was expected. Our driver/guide was the perfect balance between giving us interesting information but at the same time allowing us to explore and ask questiions that interested us. The visits to traditional tribes were senstively done and visits were playful and fun. While we were in Addis the company took good care of us. Gasaw was very professional and attentive to our needs. He took us to a very traditional coffee shop which we woud never have found on our own . The traditional dinner dancing and singing was truely memoral.
