HANDCRAFTED EXPERIENTIAL SAFARIS

Trust us to find you the rarest animals, the most spectacular wildlife events, the remotest landscapes and deeply meaningful cultural encounters!

The Omo Valley has been isolated for centuries from the demands of the Western World. In this vacuum tribes such as the Arbore, Ari, Bena, Bodi, Bumi, Daasanech (Geleb), Dorze, Hamer (Hamar), Kara (or Karo), Konso, Kwegu (or Muguji), Mursi, Tsemay, and Turkana, have retained the customs and traditions that define their identity and aids their survival in one of Africa’s most remote and difficult environments.

Over 200,000 tribal members depend on the annual flooding of the Omo River and ancient practices such as ‘flood retreat cultivation’ to cash in on the riches of silt deposited along riverbanks by slow-receding waters. They grow sorghum, maize and beans, supplemented by hunting and fishing. Cattle, goats and sheep are the lifelines of most tribes – providing blood, milk, meat and leather, as well as vital currency for trading, bartering, communicating with their ancestors and essential for a wealth of social contracts, rites and engagements.

Why choose us to craft your safari?

Handcrafted experiential safaris since 1991.

Travel in Africa is about knowing when and where to go, and with whom. A few weeks too early/late or a few kilometres off course, and you could miss the greatest show on Earth. And wouldn’t that be a pity?
