What makes the visit to the Omo Valley Tribes ethical?

The Omo Valley region mostly lives on meager resources and over the years has been victim to cattle-rustling, violence, ethnic struggles, drought, and is often one of the last areas to receive support or infrastructure from a national level. Tourism is vital to help support the communities, providing a basic income for them. The tribes would be even poorer without tourism.
The best and only way to engage in this itinerary in a responsible way is to start with a sustainable Ethiopian tour company like us, so the income does not go to a foreign entity. we also partner with the best local guides, so when you get to the different tribes with us, you support a member of their community that speaks their language and practices their culture. Showing respect and consideration when you get up close and personal with the Omo Valley tribes is also a crucial ethical travel practice.
