We are two girl friends who got in contact with George based on excellent online reviews from previous clients. From the very beginning George was extremely professional and accommodating, answering... read more our emails in a matter of hours and creating the perfect itinerary for us!
In Ethiopia, Shigo was our guide and he was such a blessing! His deep knowledge of cultures, languages and tribes in the Omo Valley allowed us to have the most wonderful experience! Shigo is very informative, accommodating, respectful and sweet and he is always welcome in all the tribes, which makes his guests also welcome into the local communities. This subsequently makes your experience as authentic as possible - you get to interact with the tribe members, share stories (being himself from the Banna tribe, Shigo speaks many of the tribal languages), sing with them, visit their huts, take pictures with them, ask them questions, etc.
With regard to logistics, everything was very well organized. We stayed in very good hotels and the restaurants for our lunch were chosen taking into consideration our “Western stomachs”. George was available on the phone at all times and he quickly and efficiently sorted out a couple of mishaps we encountered during our trip.
If you are looking for an authentic, safe and hassle-free experience in Ethiopia, we strongly recommend Exciting Ethiopian Tours!!
