This is an extraordinary opportunity to immerse in the fabric of some of these societies, including the Mursi, Hamer and Karo tribes, each with their distinct culture. From Addis Ababa we drive to the Omo Valley region and enjoy a boat trip on Lake Chamo to spot hippos and an array of water birds. For the next few days we move from village to village, witnessing traditional lifestyles. The Mursi traditions, whose women insert large clay plates in their lower lips, and the Hamer, who scar and paint their bodies in a mark of their culture, are incredibly fascinating. Visiting the Danakil Depression is a real expedition. The sometimes very rough roads are leading into hot and dusty area. But you are going to be rewarded with a once in a lifetime experience in one of the most beautiful places on our planet. Extraordinary scenery, amazing nights under the stars and the brave Afar people are waiting for you.
