Omo River Region, Ethiopia
It’s a fascinating destination for those interested in African culture. The remote location, which is barely accessible by 4 wheel-drives, has meant that traditional customs and beliefs are very much intact for most of these tribes. The Kalashnikovs slung across some warriors’ backs can be a little disconcerting but the tribes are friendly and this is often the only western accessory you’ll see them wear.
The Omo River bounds for the early kingdoms of Janjero and Garo. It spans past the Mago and the Omo National Park, which are very much famous for their wildlife. Numerous species of animals live around and on the river; which includes hippopotamuses and crocodiles.
