This trip takes you the south of Ethiopia to meet and share the experience of the Omo valley people. Inspired by their environment of wild trees, exotic flowers and lush vegetation these tribes use colorful make-up, bright yellows, startling whites and rich earth-reds created from the clay soil. The Omo Valley is one of the most culturally rich tribal regions on the African continent. They wear flamboyant accessories and brilliant head decorations to become a walking body of art. As a celebration of themselves, they paint each other’s bodies and make bold decisions about their outfits motivated by the sheer fun of creating and showing off to other members of the tribe.
Day 1: Fly to Arbaminch then go for a cultural safari to explore an authentic Dorze village in the mountains overlooking Arbaminch. Learn about the Dorze people.

My friends and I had a wonderful 5-day experience in the Omo Valley with GiSh Abay Tours. Yenew was a great guide, and Gech was an excellent driver—both friendly, knowledgeable, and always helpful. The small group created a relaxed atmosphere and made the experience feel much more personal. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy the amazing culture, beautiful landscapes, and unique atmosphere of southern Ethiopia. Highly recommended! 🇪🇹🌍
The tour is well organized, pickup staff is always on time and most of the hotels used are amazing. The Omo Valley is a must see region. I highly recommend this provider as a best in class. The days are so well planned, you are not overly tired at the end. Very happy with my tour.

We had a 9 hours layover and we needed a tour of the place. Henok knows so much about this place. He even took us to one of the local house to have Njera. It was the best and Henok is very welcoming and he answered all the questions we had. He also took us to have coffee in exactly how the past generations used to have it. I will definitely recommend him as a tour guide for Addis Ababa day trip

Took a personalized 12 day tour with gishbay tours. Absolutely fabulous. Everything organized to perfection. Wherever we were all the lodges were excellent. Local people were so excited to greet us and offer us coffee in their homes. This is a beautiful contry with wonderful people. I feel blessed to have allowed to go there. Must mention my wonderful guide Gabriel. He was caring, helped this old lady over rocks and up steps. He was also a great companion, knowledgeable and caring. I consider him a brother. Don't be afraid to go to see this amazing country , you will never regret it.
