Omo valley ethiopia is really unique place with oldest tribe's of Ethiopia living very primitive way of life. These tribal communities lived for generations in nearby the shore of the mighty Omo river. They have managed to keeping their traditions and unique way of life to be witnessed nowhere on the planet we all share despite the continuous aggression of the outside influence. There are quite a number of fascinating cultural activities throughout the year to be experienced by culture wanderers with activities including: Bull Jumping pre-marriage rite of passage into adulthood, weekly colourful market days, mass events of 'DONGA' stick fighting and ''KA'EL'' festival of '' THE FATS CEREMONY'' which marks the beginning of a new year with several cultural values embedded in it. There are several tribes along the traces of the Omo river on the downstream side some hundreds of Kilometers before joining Lake TURKANA, the largest desert lake in the world, the most reknowned are the 16 different unique tribes within the valley of omo such as: Hammer tribe, Banna, Tsemay, Ari, Male, Karo, Dassenech, Nyangatom, Surma, Body, Mursi, Koyigo, Arbore, Bacha, Dime, and the tribe on an extinction stage Brayle. There are tribes from neighboring countries who share these river's annual provision such as the indigenous Turkana tribes of the Northwest Kenya, and some tribes who come frequently for trading activities from Uganda, and South Sudanese borders. It is an exotic and compelling experience to witness the uninterrupted daily normal and authentic life of these tribal communities of The Omo Remains.
