The legendary Omo river is the cradle of an amazing variety of cultures and lifestyles. Dassanech, Nyangatoum, Muguji, Karo are just some of the tribes who are living thanks to the richness of the water that calmly flows towards Kenya. Remote areas where few explorers reached until 30 years ago, are now accessible to tourists and also rich in wildlife. Using a boat to reach the most remote villages is an interesting possibility to escape the usual and busy spots.
ACCOMODATION STANDARD: There are no available lodges beside the river, it is possible to reach there by a day trip from Turmi or to camp in a village is advisable for informal travellers looking for a close up experience.
WEATHER: The rainy season in the south is from April to May. During the rainy time a 4×4 is strictly necessary to reach some villages and at times may be very challenging or even impossible. Temperatures range between 22º at night to a maximum of 37º in the daytime.
