If you want a cultural experience that you will never forget, then plan a trip to the Lower Omo Valley. South Omo is Ethiopia’s most culturally and linguistically diverse administrative zone, supporting 15 different ethnic groups who all staunchly keep to their unique traditional costumes, customs and beliefs.
Here you can connect with one of more than a dozen indigenous peoples that live in the region. This is one of the only places in the world where you can still find indigenous people that haven’t been influenced by the outside world. The valley is dependent on the Omo River to live as it feeds the dry savannah that supports the local communities. Each of the villages has their own customs and language and have lived basically the same lifestyle for centuries. The Mursi and Hamar are proud people who adorn themselves in unusual body art and jewelry and cattle are vital to their existence.
