All about the 13 Days start from Addis Ababa – Option 1.

I proposed two options of itinerary and you can choose one of the Tour schedules below. It is an ideal and flexible program. The itinerary for the south is highly flexible. There is a specific day for markets. You have to be on the markets on a due day to attend the colorful markets But, there is no specific day for ceremony and festival. The driver has contacts in all villages of Omo valley. If something is to happen in one village, we will leave the plan aside and drive to the village to be a part of the event.

Option 1
