Omo Valley Expedition
We start in Addis Ababa with a short domestic flight to Jimma — the gateway to Ethiopia’s wild south, where the road fades and the real journey begins.
From there, our 4×4 convoy travels over 600 miles through breathtaking landscapes — from lush coffee highlands to remote valleys and tribal lands few ever reach. Along the way, we visit the Suri, Hamar, Karo, Arbore, and Dassanach — each with their own incredible traditions, languages, and way of life.
This is a fully organised expedition — planned down to every detail and led by an experienced team that knows the terrain, the culture, and the rhythm of remote-field travel. You don’t have to worry about logistics — just bring your curiosity and a sense of adventure.
We’ll cross rivers, explore bustling markets, and spend time in villages rarely seen by outsiders. Some nights we’ll camp under the stars, other nights we’ll stay in cozy local lodges — always safe, always unforgettable.
Every day brings a shift in scenery — misty mountain mornings, sunlit savannahs by afternoon. You’ll move through a world few travellers ever experience.
We finish the expedition in Jinka, where we board a return flight to Addis Ababa — minds full, memory cards fuller.
This journey isn’t about roughing it — it’s about stepping into something rare, meaningful, and beautifully real. And we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Off-the-map facts:
Ethiopia is the only African nation that was never formally colonised, preserving its independence and rich cultural identity for millennia. It’s the birthplace of coffee and home to more than 80 ethnic groups and 90 languages, each with its own traditions, music, and distinctive dress.
