Summary:
Degu was the best guide, he was very clear about all details and about the price of our package. He came to pick us up at the airport with a car in perfect conditions with a very attentive and trustworthy driver who really didn’t miss a thing even though he doesn’t speak English.
The tour was great and Degu took care of every detail, making the experience memorable and absolutely smooth. He never overpromised but got us all we wished to see and more.
The bull jumping ceremony will always be an incredible memory. The pictures we took across all 3 days with the tribes are difficult to choose and select because most of them are really beautiful also because Degu was always mindful of making us find the best light and position for them.
He’s really smart and has great problem solving skills. We recommend him to anyone who wants to have a good travel experience anywhere in Ethiopia.
