I spent 12 days in the Omo Valley with Omo Valley Tours, and every single day was a fantastic experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Fitsum and his team. From start to finish, ever… Full review by Costanza R
Is it possible to do a 2 or 3 day tour to the Omo Valley? I don't have enough time for a 6 day or longer tour.

How can I get in touch with the Omo Valley Tours? I have send several emails over the last weeks/months, but I haven't heard back yet, which makes me doubt if I should book with them.

Hi Miki Have you been sending emails? I used what’s app to connect. Often times Fitsum is so remote it’s hard for him to receive messages. I would be happy to let him know you are trying to reach him and to please answer your WhatsApp message. He’s a fantastic tour guide don’t give up!
Hi, Thanks for your review. I was wondering how many days you did the tour for and what you paid? Also how much did you have to pay for each of the photographs you took? I heard that they charge for this.... Did the trip seem authentic or tourist watching? Thanks!

We paid about $600 AUD per person for 4/5 days which was all inclusive with airport transfers, accommodation, food, transport, village fees etc. Photos were included in most of this, I think it was just the last village where we paid additional but was very minimal. We probably spent a total of $5USD and took about 20 photos. I recommend very small local currency to pay for photos, but your guide should suggest/arrange that for you. Our guide even paid for some photos for us at his own expense. It is literally cents to us in the western world. Agree 100% about being respectful and asking EVERY single individual before taking their photo. And dont just walk in and start snapping away. Learn, ask questions, observe and embrace this pretty special experience. Show the people you actually are interested in their way of living and educating yourself, rather than treated them as nothing and just running up to their faces with big SLR cameras. NOT COOL!
