The tribal people who live in Ethiopia’s remote lower Omo Valley are among the very few remaining on our planet who do not depend on technology for survival. We will spend ten days camping in comfortable tents on the Omo River bank under Cape Mahogany trees and in the Omo Delta where fishing in the shallow slower waters provides local sustenance. Immersing ourselves in their cultures, we will visit many villages of diverse tribes. We will go by boat to villages where access is otherwise very difficult. By 4x4 we will visit local markets and any ceremonies happening at the time. We will photograph the Omo herdsmen’s daily lives, as we learn about their rites of passage, traditional body decoration, symbiotic relationships from tribe to tribe and polygamous social structure which follows the paternal line of the Mursi, Karo, Hamar, Nyangatoum and other tribes.

While the focus of our trip will be the Omo River Valley, we will begin in Kenya so that we can visit Lake Turkana and meet the people of the region.

At the end of this safari you will have the option to spend an additional week on the Ethiopia Historical Route.
