Adventure in South Omo Valley

Oct 2019

I had a wonderful time in Ethiopia. Gecho did an amazing job, as always. We spent 2 weeks in Mursi area visiting beautiful villages and great tribal people. There was a dance almost every evening, the people and children were so friendly. We stayed in Labuk (Karo) for 2 nights and we joined a 3 days wedding ceremony there, the first night we even got invited to a goat dinner, because this is tradition. We spent a week in Hamer villages and Ebore villages. Thanks to Gecho we always camped directly in the village on the compound of the tribal people. I still have all the wonderful songs of the dances in my head.

We had a fantastic time and were able to change our schedule according to local special events happening, local markets etc. We visited in November 2014 for 16 days and were 4 women in the 4-wheel drive car with the fantastic Gecho, who was our organiser, coordinator, driver. Very knowledgeable about everything. Highly recommended

Eight times I have been to Ethiopia mainly for photography. Every single time was fantastic. Beautiful landscape, great people and so many different cultures. Something to see and do for everyone.
Gecho was (is) always a great, fantastic, helpful guide and driver (and a friend by now). He takes care of you and your equipment, helps with information and ideas, likes to sit together but gives you time and space for yourself. And if a situation is complicated Gecho will find a solution. There is no way not to like Gecho and traveling with him.
South Expedition Africa (Nathaniel) always worked fine with good arguments for and against my plans. But we always found fantastic solution. He won't promise things he can't keep.
Next time in 2020?? Hope so!
