Where will you be staying?

Throughout most of the journey, you'll stay in locally owned guesthouses. They are clean, comfortable, and have en-suite bathrooms, while remaining simple and authentic. Staying in these guesthouses directly supports local Ethiopian businesses and communities.

What do previous guests think?

review.png
Not your typical South Omo tour.

While most tours move quickly from tribe to tribe, offering brief visits and surface-level glimpses, we take a different path. Our deep, respectful partnership with the Hamar people invites you into authentic experiences built on real trust, connection, and learning. We're a believer that everyone does their best until they know better and then they do better. We believe tourism can do better, and we hope more journeys will follow this model in the future.

Typical South Omo Tours:
  • Visit many tribes quickly, little depth

  • Focused on photos, not real experiences

  • Surface-level, sometimes inaccurate information

  • Voyeuristic — tourists watch but don’t engage

  • Heavy use of single-use plastics

  • No carbon offsetting or sustainability focus

  • Short, rushed interactions with locals

  • Tourist groups often overwhelm villages

Our Hamar Immersion Tour (incorporated into this Tour)

  • Deep connection with one tribe (Hamar)

  • Hands-on cultural experiences (cook, dance, craft)

  • Accurate knowledge passed on from Hamar people

  • Respectful, non-intrusive, meaningful exchanges

  • Low-plastic, eco-conscious operations

  • Full carbon offsetting and tree planting

  • Slow travel approach — quality over quantity

  • Small groups for genuine, low-impact experiences

Who is this trip for?

This journey is made for travellers who care deeply about ethical, immersive, and authentic experiences.

 

You’re not here to tick boxes - you want to connect with real people, learn their traditions, and leave a positive impact.

You’ll feel at home among the Hamar, Dorze, and Konso communities because this trip is built on the trust and respect we have spent the last decade building - you’ll be genuinely welcomed by the people you meet and they are excited to meet you. 

We know you may sometimes worry about missing “everything” in Ethiopia, or about the cost of a small, personalised trip. That’s natural. But our approach gives you the depth you can’t get on a rushed tour - a chance to really experience life in these communities, compare cultures meaningfully, and take part in hands-on learning like cooking, crafting, and ceremonies.

Ideal travellers for this trip:

  • Prefer small groups of 10 or fewer, with the freedom to be active or opt out and rest

  • Value safety, clean accommodation, and authentic food

  • Are aged 25 – 65, travelling solo or as a couple/ friends

  • Seek connection, awe, adventure, and a sense of discovery

  • Care about making their travel ethical and meaningful, giving back rather than exploiting

You’re here because you want more than sightseeing.

 

You want to come home changed, having shared real life with people you can learn from - and having done it in a way that’s thoughtful, responsible, and unforgettable.

This journey isn’t for everyone — it’s for travellers who want to experience Ethiopia deeply, ethically, and authentically.

Who is this trip not for?
  • This is not the trip for everyone, and that's okay! 

  • This isn’t for travellers who want to tick off every tribe, stick rigidly to a schedule, or prioritise price over depth.

  • It’s not for those who can’t adapt to local rhythms, want only familiar international food for every meal, or hope to photograph people without connecting first.

​​

  • This journey is real life - immersive, hands-on, and sometimes unpredictable - for those willing to be flexible, open, and fully present.

FAQs

These are the questions previous travellers have asked the most - but if your question isn't here, do reach out! 

Is this trip safe?

We live in the south of Ethiopia for most of the year and see firsthand that the areas we visit—including key cities and cultural sites—are stable and welcoming to tourists. Guests continue to visit while it is classified as a red zone; in fact, we’ve recently had visitors in the exact locations included in this tour.

Your safety is our top priority. Before each trip, we check in with trusted local contacts for the most up-to-date information on conditions, ensuring you can focus on enjoying your experience without worry.

Your guide carries a first-aid kit, has emergency contacts in every location, and only travels on safe roads.

For minor illness, we know good local doctors. 

The vehicles you travel in are modern, with seatbelts and are reguarly maintained.

Terrain includes tarmac and dirt roads; the longest drive at a time is about 4 hours (mostly dirt roads).

Malaria is present though, we recommend preventative medicine and up-to date vaccinations.

What is the accommodation like?

You’ll mostly stay in local guesthouses with private rooms and en-suite bathrooms. Modern, clean, usually with hot water and power (occasional outages may occur).

In Hamar villages, you can choose a tent, sleep on a cowskin inside a Hamar home, or return to the guesthouse.

 

Couples or friends can share rooms for a discount.

What about food?

Meals are authentic Ethiopian cuisine, with gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan options (please let us know in advance) and most allergy needs accommodated with advance notice. Some international food is available in Hawassa, Arba Minch, or on request in Turmi. Food hygiene is our top priority - we select reputable places and provide handwashing stations; guests are encouraged to bring sanitiser.

How does logistics and transport work?

Internal flight from Addis Ababa to Jinka is included; we meet you at the airport with your name card and contact info. All local transfers are provided. Group size is 10 or fewer, ensuring personal attention and flexibility.

What if plans change?

While disruptions are rare, we adapt the itinerary to give you the best experiences possible — substituting activities or shifting schedules if needed.

What if I have specific dietary needs, mobility limits, or special requests?

We can accommodate most dietary needs if notified in advance. The trip requires some flexibility on timing, terrain, and daily pace; if you have severe mobility limitations or back issues, please check with us.

What is your refund and cancellation policy?

While disruptions are rare, we adapt the itinerary to give you the best experiences possible — substituting activities or shifting schedules if needed.

Who will be guiding the trip?

Your journey is led by Geta, who will be with you throughout. Geta has years of experience leading tours across Ethiopia. Geta grew up in the Hamar region and will introduce you to friends and family he has known his whole life, so you'll feel like you're joining the extended family, rather than intruding. Geta is in the unique position of having lived in the UK for 7 years and travelled across Europe, South East Asia, Mexico and East Africa, bringing an understanding of tourism and your culture that can be hard to grasp when you haven't left the region.

Geta will work alongside experienced local guides in other regions, who know the communities personally and help translate language, customs, and everyday life.

 

Geta will often be supported in Hamar by Kuna, the only female guide and our longtime friend. She will give you more insight into women's life in Hamar and you'll love her stories. Geta and Kuna's relationships with the Hamar and other communities are what make this journey possible.

Why does this tour cost more than a standard omo valley photo tour?

This journey is designed to be small, immersive, and responsibly run.

The price reflects a number of things that are difficult to experience on typical tours: small group sizes (maximum 10 travellers), experienced local guides, internal flights, and time spent building meaningful relationships with the communities who welcome us, luxury lakeside escape to finish the trip.

Rather than rushing through many locations, we focus on deeper cultural experiences — spending time cooking, crafting, talking, and learning alongside people who have chosen to share their way of life.

It also means ensuring that tourism benefits the communities we visit. Because we only bring groups a few times each year, those visits provide meaningful income without constant tourism pressure.

Local people earn at least 7.5 x more from one of our tours than if they worked with a standard operator in the region. 

We also carbon offset, give funds to important local projects and plant trees. 

For many travellers, the depth of experience - and the opportunity to connect with people in such a genuine way - becomes the most valuable part of the journey.

Will we feel welcome in the communities we visit?

Yes. We only visit communities where we have long-standing relationships and where guests are genuinely welcomed. Our aim is respectful cultural exchange - not observation from a distance.

Why don’t you visit more tribes in the Omo Valley?

Many tours try to visit as many tribes as possible in a short time. While that can look impressive on paper, it often means brief visits that feel more like observation than connection.

We take a different approach.

Instead of rushing between communities, we spend meaningful time with the Hamar and also visit the Dorze and Konso, allowing you to experience different cultures while still having the depth to understand daily life, traditions, and perspectives.

Most travellers tell us this deeper approach is far more rewarding than simply “seeing everything.”

There are also tribes which have been damaged negatively by tourism and we don't want to contribute to that negatively. Maybe in the future we will be able to create a way to connect with people from those communities in a meaningful way and which benefits them positively, but until then we won't visit.

Is it safe to drink the tap water in Ethiopia?

Tap water is not safe to drink in Ethiopia. To make staying hydrated easy, we include a LifeStraw water bottle for every traveller, allowing you to safely filter drinking water throughout the journey. It removes 99% of bacteria, parasites, microplastics etc. We can also provide bottled water for brushing teeth. 

 

The Lifestraw water bottle is one of the thoughtful extras we include to make your journey easier and more comfortable.

Will I have support before and during the trip?

Yes. Before you travel, you’ll have direct access to Fiona via call, Whatsapp and email, she is a native English speaker and co-founder, who can help with preparation and answer questions - no question is too big / small / weird! During the journey, she remains available if you need reassurance or support.

This is to make your experience smoother and more personal.

Will I know how to prepare for the trip?

Absolutely. Before departure you’ll receive a detailed packing list and an 80-page Ethiopia guide.  It covers culture, customs, practical preparation, and what to expect day-to-day so you can arrive feeling confident. You don't have to read this - it is not in any way required because Geta will be with you throughout your trip to provide you with all of the information you need. We know some guests like to rock up and see what the country brings, and some like to read up beforehand - there's no right or wrong way but we provide the guide for those who want it.

It’s one of the extra touches we include to help you feel prepared and relaxed before the adventure begins.

Will I be able to recreate Ethiopian food after the trip?

During the journey you’ll take part in an Ethiopian cooking class, and you’ll receive the recipe and traditional spice packets so you can recreate the dishes at home.

It’s a small but special extra to help you carry a piece of Ethiopia home with you.

Will I understand the cultural experiences we witness?

Yes. We believe cultural experiences are far more meaningful when you understand them. For example, if you witness a bull-jumping ceremony, alongside a briefing, you’ll receive a clear printed cultural guide explaining its symbolism and stages so you can fully appreciate what you’re seeing.

This is another thoughtful extra we provide to make the experience deeper and more meaningful.

What makes this journey special?

This isn’t just a holiday.

It’s a rare opportunity to connect deeply with cultures at a turning point, before modernization changes many traditional ways of life.

Through immersive experiences, respectful cultural exchange, and time spent with local communities, many travellers find it becomes one of the most meaningful journeys they’ve ever taken.

Will a Bull-jumping or Evangadi night dancing be available to see?

The Bull-jumping ceremony (and evangadi night dancing which follows that evening) cannot be guaranteed (any tour that guarantees this is fibbing!). This is never put on for tourists and organised by the Hamar family a few weeks before the day. However, you have a good chance of seeing one as you are in Hamar for a few days.

If it is not available, we will replace it with another cultural activity that we are sure you'll love! 

What are the toilets like?

At your accommodation, you’ll have western-style toilets with private bathrooms. You’ll have access to these most of the time throughout the journey.

Occasionally, if we make an unplanned stop during a drive, there’s a small chance the only available facilities may be local squat toilets. We try to avoid this wherever possible, but it can happen in rare situations.

If you choose to camp in the Hamar village, there are no formal toilet facilities, so you would need to use the bush. If this doesn’t feel comfortable for you, that’s absolutely fine — you can choose to stay at the guesthouse instead of camping.

As this tour includes the Simien Mountains, there is one night of camping where there are no toilet facilities, so you would need to use the bush. Your guide will explain how this works and help ensure privacy and comfort.

What is the flight supplement?

Internal Ethiopian flights are cheaper when your international flight into Ethiopia is booked with Ethiopian Airlines.

If you arrive on another airline, the cost of the internal flights increases slightly. In this case, we may need to add a flight supplement of around £50–£100 per internal flight.

How long are the drives?

The longest single drive on the tour is around four hours at a time, and the longest total driving time in a single day is around seven hours, broken up with stops. Approximately half of the drive time is on tarmac roads and half is on dirt roads. 

However, this is not every day. We’ve designed the itinerary to include multiple days in one place, allowing you to settle in and experience the area rather than constantly moving.

Focusing more deeply on Hamar culture also means less driving between many different tribes, which makes the journey more comfortable for you and reduces the environmental impact of the trip - a win for everyone.
