What's so exceptional about Omo Valley?
In the Crossroads of Culture
The Omo Valley Tribes are assigned UNESCO World Heritage Site. This area is viewed as a veritable "intersection of culture," having borne observer to the development and relocation of various societies and ethnic gatherings for a large number of years. "The whole Omo waterway bowl is additionally essential, geographically and archeologically.

What got me keen on the Great Rift Valley?
I previously set foot in Omo Valley in 2014 and all the prep work and research that I did or stories I had tuned in to didn't approach the truth of what I encountered in my first trek. Other than the wild, stunning scene, connecting and living with the inborn networks loaned me a groundbreaking point of view of life here. The sacrosanct and the profane exist together, and you understand that the quandaries we face of dividing them in our 'cutting edge' lives don't have wherever in the Omo Valley.
Individuals of different teaches all have their motivations to make a trip toward the southern piece of Ethiopia: to find, contemplate, arrange, and let the world think about this district. In any case, as a picture taker, my motivation for coming back to the stream valley is to some degree contradictory: I need to have the capacity to catch a remnant of uncorrupted inborn life before it gets up to speed with the acculturated world. I need my work to stand declaration to the regular day to day existences of the occupants of Omo, appropriate from their customs and soul changing experiences, their unmistakable viciousness and inborn magnificence, and the way they exist together with nature, putting need of family and fellowship.
This is a shot for select members to venture out of their usual range of familiarity and enter a territory that has some way or another stood its ground against the broad powers of modernization and globalization.
