Beschrijving
Immerse yourself in the vibrant cultures of the Omo Valley and Dorze Highlands on a 6-day tour. Participate in workshops, visit local markets, and experience tribal life firsthand.
Embark on a 6-day journey through Ethiopia’s southern cultural heartland. Starting in Arba Minch, this adventure blends artisan workshops, ancient traditions, highland culture, river life, and deep tribal encounters — all in a respectful, ethical way approved by the local communities.
Visit the famed Dorze tribe in the Guge Mountains, known for their vibrant weaving tradition and unique bamboo houses. Learn kocho-making and explore the colorful Dorze market before continuing to UNESCO-listed Konso, home of stone terraces and age-old clan totems.
Move deeper into the Omo Valley to connect with the Arbore, Hamar, Karo, Dassanech, Banna, Ari, and Mursi tribes through meaningful cultural exchanges. Prepare local food, learn body painting techniques, take part in artisan crafts, cross the Omo River by canoe, and sit around evening fire circles listening to tribal elders share stories.
This tour is filled with hands-on activities, intimate encounters, and unique cultural moments not offered by other operators — making it one of the most exclusive experiences in the region.
