Note.
The itinerary for the Omo valley is highly flexible. Local markets are
held on specific days. In order to attend the colourful markets, we
will have to be there on those days. But there are no specific days
for ceremonies or festivals. We have contact in all of the Omo valley
villages. IF something IS to happen in one village, we will put our
planned itinerary aside and drive to another village to be a part of
the event.
We suggest a walking tour if you are interested in social life, living
conditions, problems, development projects, politics and the many an
told stories of the tribal people. That would allow you time to visit
with families and observe their daily- life activities. It is good way
to experience real life in Ethiopia.
The above itineray is an ideal normal touristic tout. But there will
be many more things to do and place to visit. We prefer not to list
them all here. That way we can keep your interests and desires as the
focal point for the final itinerary. Possibly, the unwritten part of
our trip will be the best part of all.
