Named after its geographical features and the famous Omo River, the Omo Valley is a spectacularly beautiful area with diverse attractions, ecosystems, cultures and languages. It is a home for at least 16 distinct tribes with unique culture & language. The majority of the region is dry and inhospitable: 0.5 % is highland, 5 % is midland, 60 % is lowland and 34 % is desert. Despite this only 8.5 % of the populations are urban dwellers.
Book your Omo Valley Ethiopia cultural tours from Addis Ababa, Arba Minch and Jinka. The natural beauty of the Omo Valley is unsurpassed. The diverseness of the people, the languages, the traditions and the landscape (in a comparatively small area) is unequalled anywhere on this vast continent. The untainted attire and intrinsic majesty of the people living in an age-old traditional manner will touch the hearts of all who come here and the images will stain the visitors’ memory long after they return home. Enjoy the privilege of traveling with locals and with a company owned by a local from Omo Valley.
