This is an extraordinary expedition to Ethiopia, a territory surrounded by an aura of mystery seems to be asleep between the torrid deserts and the waters of the Red Sea. Our tour starts going south with a visit to the valley of the Omo River, undoubtedly one of the most wild and unexplored regions of Africa. The Mursi, Hamer, Karo, Bume, Konso and Omorate are just some of the tribes preserving their customs and ways of life in this region close to Mago National Park.
