The Omo River Valley Fly Camp is a seasonal fly camp in the Omo River Valley that is simple but comfortable, given the remote nature of the location. Walk-in tents are insect proof and feature bedding with comfortable mattresses and a pillow. Each tent has its own private shower and long drop toilet tent located a few steps away.

Hearty breakfasts and welcoming dinners are served at a long table under a shaded canopy. Lunches are packed and enjoyed on the go while visiting tribal villages during the day.

Considered to be one of the last 'great undiscovered' places in Africa, the Omo Valley in southwestern Ethiopia is a region rich with cultural heritage where tribes untouched by modern life give a fascinating glimpse into the hidden treasures of Ethiopia. Among the cultural gems that the region offers are encounters with many tribes, including the Arbore, Ari, Bena, Bumi, Daasanech, Dorze, Hamaar, Kara, Konso, Kwegu, Mursi, Tsemay and Turkana. Each is a beautifully unique tribe whose remote location along the Omo River has given them the alluring quality of having their lifestyles largely uninterrupted by the ever-changing world hiding beyond the walls of the Omo Valley. One of the most fascinating aspects of visiting these tribes are the intricate adornments they use for ceremonies and body art. Some of these artistic expressions are rather recognizable considering the isolation in which these tribes usually live.
