Resting in southwestern Ethiopia, the Omo Valley, fed by the Omo River and dotted with savannah, is famous for its large number of unique traditional tribes. More than a dozen different tribes live along the banks, each with its own customs, languages and religions. Some are settled here, while others are nomadic or semi-nomadic. The people are generally friendly and open to interacting with tourists. Visitors can take boat trips along Lake Chamo, one of the best spots in Ethiopia for bird and wildlife watching, to see crocodiles, hippos, and numerous birds, especially African fish eagle.
