This expedition into Southern Ethiopia offers you a unique contact with the tribal peoples of the Omo River Valley, in a virgin environment and where tribal traditions have remained unchanged. The women still dress in elaborately decorated skins and the men celebrate adulthood with special colored hair buns. Meet the Mursi tribe whose women wear huge lip plates and whose men participate in ritualistic stick dueling; the Hamar women, among the most beautiful in East Africa and whose various metal ornaments indicate their marital status; the Karo, known for their body painting and erotic dancing; and other tribes like the Tsamai, Bana, Erbore, Konso, and Borana, with equally fascinating customs. And you'll delight in the unexpected richness of Southern Ethiopia's classic African wildlife as you travel through the lakes and parks of the great Rift Valley. |
