Summary: Traveling to the Omo Valley with Emmanuel and his assistant Carlos was truly an unforgettable experience. Emmanuel is not only incredibly kind, intelligent, and cheerful, but also deeply responsible and attentive to every detail. His warm smile and contagious laughter made every moment special, and Carlos was just as wonderful—always ready to help with a big heart and a bright spirit. I genuinely enjoyed every part of the journey thanks to their amazing guidance. I highly recommend Emmanuel as a tour leader to anyone looking for a meaningful and joyful travel experience. You’ll be in the best hands! .... Thanks for everything ... Khorram :)

Summary: In January, in 4 people, we were on a 5-day Omo Valley tour. Emani is factual, reliable and an excellent organizer. Great supervision and flexibility in implementing the program. Everything we agreed on was implemented 100%. We took the tour with a driver-guide Tsegaa. May we always come across such a guy in our travels. He was more our friend than a guardian. We will remember our trip for a long time. A big bow to both gentlemen. We highly recommend Explore Omo Tour.
