Destination: Omo Valley’s Tribes

South Ethiopia, Lower Omo Valley, a living cultural Museum
It may seem superficial to label southern Ethiopia and lower Omo valley as a living cultural museum, yet in many senses that is exactly what it is! Four of African major linguistic groups are represented in the region, including the Omotic-speakers. The lower Omo River valley in southwest Ethiopia is one of the last unspoiled wilderness regions in Africa, beside that lower Omo is home to an astonishing mix of small, contrasting ethnic groups uniquely known for their natural artistic impulses. Meet and greet some of the very colourful local tribes who live in these areas.
