The Upper Omo has more whitewater than the lower section, with mostly grade 2-3 rapids and a few grade 4 rapids. The river is smaller, steeper and faster than the lower river. We will float through deep gorges, open savannah grasslands and dense jungle. At night we camp in groves of trees and on high sandy beaches lulled to sleep by the sound of hippos in the river

Day 12
Rendezvous with our support vehicles at Bele Bridge and load up with fresh produce
(All meals included)
Days 13 - 22
The Lower Omo sees the river larger and more remote, with the wildlife increasing in species and numbers. We will strategically navigate our way through pods of hippos in the pools, view waterbuck and hippo grazing at the river bank, glimpse the white and black flashes of Colobus monkeys swinging through the trees and hear the cries of the majestic fish eagles soaring overhead. On the last four days we begin to pass the villages of the Qwegu and Mursi tribes, the warriors and children beckoning to us from the bank. These tribal people live lives almost unchanged from their stone age past. The interaction between our group and the tribe’s people is a phenomenal experience for both parties
(All meals included)
