South discovery

This trip takes you the south of Ethiopia to meet and share the experience of the Omo valley people. Inspired by their environment of wild trees, exotic flowers and lush vegetation these tribes use colorful make-up, bright yellows, startling whites and rich earth-reds created from the clay soil. The Omo Valley is one of the most culturally rich tribal regions on the African continent. They wear flamboyant accessories and brilliant head decorations to become a walking body of art. As a celebration of themselves, they paint each other’s bodies and make bold decisions about their outfits motivated by the sheer fun of creating and showing off to other members of the tribe.

We have access to the villages of the Hamar, Ari, Banna, Mursi, and Dassenech. We will have many opportunities to photograph and filming their daily lives, as well as experience some of their timeless ceremonies. It is likely we will meet several other tribes along the way that we can also visit. The time we will spend with a tribe will depend on what is happening in and around the village. In true expedition style we will make the program flexible to ensure there is enough time to immerse ourselves in these cultures and take advantage of any touring opportunities that may arise. This will truly be an experience of a lifetime!
