what is an Omo Valley photo tour like? here we go behind the scenes!
This private Omo Valley photography tour we met and photographed many tribes in southern Ethiopia including:
Mursi tribe (Surma)
Kara tribe (Karo)
Nyangatom tribe (Bume)
Dassenech tribe
Hamer tribe
Benna tribe (Banna)
Silte tribe
Dorze tribe
Tsemai tribe
Aari tribe
and more!
Australian professional photographer Karen Waller was my private guest for this Omo Valley photo tour. We had such an amazing time with the Omo Valley tribes in Ethiopia and she has now become a wonderful friend.
Omo Valley tour review from Karen Waller
“My last trip overseas was at least 20 years ago and so making the decision to travel to Ethiopia to photograph the tribal people in the Omo Valley was a significant one for me.
I highly recommend Jayne as your guide. She is an incredible photographer and her passion and enthusiasm for life is contagious. Jayne is determined to create an experience, unlike other large groups, which gives you autonomy and allows the opportunity to have more creative and interactive connection with the subjects you photograph.
Jayne is thinking ethically about her approach which is an important consideration.”

“There were so many incredible experiences on my trip to Ethiopia. I hope that I have the opportunity to return to this incredible place. If I do, I will travel with Jayne, Mule and Endy because they were such wonderful people to travel with. We had many fun moment and stories that we will tell in years to come. In a short time they became my Ethiopian family and friends for life.”
Thank you so much Kazie for your kind words!
