Ethnic Tribes of OMO Valley
In a huge contrast to the North, the Ethnic South is a disappearing world worth seeing before it vanishes and is absorbed by ‘modern civilization”. The beautiful culture and way of life of the konsoes, Hamers, Benas, Gelebs, Karos, Mursis and all the other tribes, will disappear in a short while due to the urban way of life and encroachment of Christianity and other religions. This is the time to see this fast disappearing world of ‘stone age’ in the 21st century, before it is too late.
Omo Valley is undoubtedly one of the most unique places on earth because of the wide variety of people and animals that inhabit it.
It is located in Africa's Great Rift Valley. The region is known for its culture and diversity.
The tribes that live in the lower Omo Valley are believed to be among the most fascinating on the
continent of Africa and around the world. Tours are offered to several towns and villages.
A Dorze hut is made up of hard wood poles, woven bamboo, enset and other natural materials.
It can stand two stories tall and last up to 80 years.
