Yared Tour & Travel is an Ethiopian tour organisation with a huge passion for creating extraordinary and responsible travel experiences involving local communities. In 2019 Yared Tour decided to co-create something really special for visitors together with the local communities in the southern Omo valley. The result of this partnership is the Shoshi Hamar community trekking, where guests have the opportunity to stay with the local communities. This unique and authentic community trek with the Hamar people is the chance to get completely off the regular tourist trail. The guided trekking takes you through the local landscape on foot. On the unique trek, you learn about the biodiversity of the area. The local community is trained in food preparation, guiding and plans to develop activities with permaculture gardening. They will improve the livelihood and sustainability of these local communities.
During 2020 we organised a crowdfunding campaign to support our beautiful communities in the Southern Omo Valley. As a result we were able to distribute many useful products to help prepare communities for when tourism starts up again. Products such as handwashing stations and reusable facemasks have already been distributed.
Escape your daily life and experience the remote, peaceful way of South Omo living (all trips consider the Covid19 restrictions). For upcoming school holidays, we organise trips of 5, 6 & 7 days! Start in Addis Abeba and drive towards Turmi or drive to Turmi yourself and start from there!
