Some of the most beautiful tribes on the African continent live deep in southern Ethiopia. Inspired by their environment of wild trees, exotic flowers, and lush vegetation, these tribes use the clay soil of bright yellows, startling whites, and rich earth reds to paint each other’s bodies. They make bold decisions about their outfits’ hand-crafted from animal skins and decorated with beads, feathers, and shells. Known as a living museum to anthropologists, they become a walking body of art. They are visually breathtaking. This was an epic journey of discovery in a place so uniquely different from any other world. These tribes live side by side, each with their own traditions and unique appearance, making the Omo Valley one of Earth’s most tribally diverse places.
This was an intimate experience with the Mursi, Kara, Daasanach, Hammar, Abore and Suri. Throughout this life-enriching journey, we gained in-depth insight to the tribe’s lifestyle, beliefs, and ancient traditions to gain a deeper understanding of their world and embrace the true spirit of the people.
