Details of Omo National Park

One of Ethiopia’s most remote tracts of wilderness, Omo National Park is a developing attraction that is especially popular with bird-watchers. More than 312 species have been recorded within the park.

The park’s savannah and riverine forests are home to a variety of wildlife, although surveys as to the animal population are still ongoing.

Like Gambela National Park, Omo National Park is possessed of an untamed charm that is well worth the long and sometimes arduous drive.

A Hadzabe Tribe Visit Tanzania gets sold on almost every Lake Eyasi itinerary, a dawn hunt, the click sounds of the language, arrows and honey. What most travellers never learn is how much of what they saw was arranged in advance for them to see. This blog explains who the...

Most first safaris get built around a fear of missing out, six parks, six days, a new lodge every night. What you get is a holiday spent mostly in transit, watching Tanzania slide past through a window. A Slow Safari Tanzania flips that. Fewer parks, more nights, deeper time with...
