Before reaching the Omo River, visitors can explore the home of the Dorze people in Chencha, renowned for their bamboo bee-hive-shaped houses and colorful weaving skills.

Along the Omo River, visitors can discover the Kara, who are famous for body painting and Mursi’s women wearing lip plates, and experience the extraordinary rite of passage of the Hamer people called the Bull Jumping ceremony (Ukuli Bula), representing a life-changing event for young men who pass from boyhood into adulthood.
