Ethiopia · OMO VALLEY TOURS
Trips into the lower Omo visit living communities — Mursi, Hamer, Karo, Dassanech and others — usually on market days, from a base at Jinka, Turmi or Key Afar. Roads are rough and most itineraries run five days or more from Addis Ababa. Photography is negotiated and paid for on the spot, per person and per photograph; ask your guide what the going rate is before you raise a camera. The 15 below are compared on route, length, vehicle and what the price covers.
