The third tribe on my journey through the Omo Valley were the "Karo", also known as the "Kara".
The Karo are a small tribe of less than 3,000 in
the Omo Valley. They grow corn, beans, and sorghum.
I visited the tribe late in the afternoon. Although suffering from giardiasis, I managed to get some memorable photos of the people, and their homes. Realizing that I was feeling ill, one of the elders ensured that the people gave me some personal space. Many of the visits to the Omo Valley can be somewhat daunting, with people pressing to have their photos taken and to view thier photos on the back of your camera.
I was very impressed with the openness and friendliness of the Omo Valley tribes. The people were very interesting and a pleasure to interact with.
