The Lower Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia is home to many different peoples, including the Hamar, Mursi, Karo and Dassanech, each with their own language, dress and traditions.
Visit weekly markets, meet communities with a local guide and, if the timing is right, witness a Hamar bull-jumping ceremony. We plan visits to be respectful, with fair payment and time to learn rather than just take photographs.
