This immersive 10-day journey takes you deep into the heart of southern Ethiopia—where ancient traditions, dramatic landscapes, and rare wildlife await. Beginning in the capital city of Addis Ababa, the tour explores the remote and culturally rich Omo Valley, home to some of Africa’s most fascinating and diverse tribal communities, including the Mursi, Hamar, Karo, Dassanech, and Nyangatom. You’ll witness age-old customs, intricate body art, and vibrant local markets, all while engaging directly with communities whose lifestyles have remained rooted in centuries-old heritage.
From there, the route winds through the verdant highlands and Rift Valley lakes to the Bale Mountains, a hidden gem of Ethiopia’s natural world. Here, you’ll encounter endemic wildlife like the rare Ethiopian wolf, traverse the stunning Sanetti Plateau, and hike through the mysterious Harenna Forest, one of the few remaining cloud forests in the country.
Blending cultural encounters, wildlife viewing, and breathtaking scenery, this thoughtfully crafted itinerary offers a rare opportunity to experience Ethiopia’s most authentic and awe-inspiring treasures—both human and natural—in a single unforgettable adventure.
