The Lower Omo River in southwest Ethiopia is home to eight different tribes whose population is about 200,000. Visiting the communities of the Omo Valley is a privilege. Each of the tribes in this region has a unique culture and way of life. Almost all of the tribes differ in language, clothing, food, and traditions.

Omo Valley Tours offers unique local-led tribal and ethnic visits, exclusively exploring the Omo region in the south of Ethiopia. We will assist you in discovering the most ethnically diverse cultures, customs, and ceremonial events, including the most isolated areas of the Omo Valley. Discover the farmers, artisans, and craftsmen maintaining their ancestral tradition and workmanship. Using our guide knowledge and experience, we consult and design remote and less-traveled routes to meet your specific needs.
