Lower Valley of the Omo, Ethiopia

Lower Valley of the Omo, Ethiopia

The region is characterised by a generally hot and dry climate, with terrain ranging from open savanna plains and volcanic hills to scrubland. The Omo River serves as the sole, pivotal lifeline for the region. It originates in the northern Ethiopian Highlands and flows southward for over 760 kilometres before emptying into the landlocked Lake Turkana, enriching the region with fertile sediment amidst a semi-arid environment.
