Highly recommended - No doubt that Degu is the best guide for your adventure! We had a 2-day unforgettable tour with my boyfriend, visiting the Banna, Hamer, and Karo tribes. Degu is extremely knowledgeable about all the tribes, their languages, customs, and way of living. In addition, he is very kind, flexible, responsible, and caring person. I highly recommend!!!💯

Full day tour: Jinka-Mursi-Ari - Degu was a magnificent guide, he was able to acomodate to our limited time in Jinka and spent a full day on tour with us. His knowledge and experience with the tribes, surroundings and human skills left us highly satisfied. He went the extra mile and helped us with the accomodation at the end of the day.
Will definitely recomend for future visit to Omo Valley! Gracias Degu (Javi, Pati & Ade)

6 NIGHTS IN THE OMO VALLEY WITH DEGU AND KETEMA - I decided to travel with Degu to the Omo Valley when I saw how friendly and engaging he was in his TikTok videos. I made the right choice. Degu, Ketema (driver extraordinaire), and myself spent seven days and six nights cruising through the valley- and it was one of the best travel experiences of my life. Ethiopia is a treasure. A nation wealthy in religious and cultural history. I love it so much I returned several months later, to the north this time, and there was never a question who I would choose as my guide.
By the way, please do ask Degu about charity organizations in Addis Ababa (or elsewhere). Helping out a bit where I could has been an awarding and wonderful experience.

Incredible experience - The experience was incredible. Degu took care of us at every moment. We visited 7 tribes and felt very welcome in each of them. Degu had everything planned in advance and for 5 days we didn’t have to worry about anything.
Life changing experience to be with the tribes and live with them for a couple of days. They treated us like family and had meals with us. We could attend a bull jumping ceremony and learn their culture from the elders and the children.
Totally recommend this tour and Degu as a guide. We have 0 complains.
Thank you Degu!!

I wanted to take my time learning about the tribes in the Omo Valley region without feeling rushed. - Thank you Degu and Lecha for the most amazing trip. It would have been impossible without your assistance throughout the trip. Your knowledge, connections and translations have been invaluable. I have learnt so much more coming back to Ethiopia this time. Thank you also for being so flexible with the itinerary and working with me on it. Amesegenalow!

❤️ Degu Hable The Best Guide ❤️ - Simply life changing experience visiting Omo Valley and all it’s indigenous tribes with my amazing guide, Degu Hable. This guy is not just a guide, he quickly becomes your friend and does his best to ensure you have the best time. Degu knows a lot about the history and culture in the region and he was patient to answer all of my questions. Thanks to him, we had an incredible time with Mursi tribe, and even spent the whole day in their village interacting with them and learning about this entirely different world. Nairobi is one of the most honest and sincere among the guides there, and I recommend getting in touch with him, you can get him by calling his local Ethiopian number on +251932714797 or on whatapp on the same number.
While we were touring the Omo Valley, we found time to eat lots of delicious and local food, as well as drink lots of tea and coffee.
Degu is so cool to hang out with but also gives you your own space. Degu really is a credit to Omo Valley tour guides, I have a lot of experience with tours and tour guides all over the world and Degu is a one of the nicest and best I’ve met. Degu is a big reason why this tour is so amazing for visitors, he makes the tour a better environment and keeps it moving forward.
He’s like a minor celebrity around Omo Valley and Jinka, it seems everybody there knows him. I have witnessed first hand him helping me out and I’m proud to call this man a friend. He is very chilled out, open minded, cool, knowledgeable and practical character, these traits are all good assets for a great tour guide.
Honestly, Degu, is just a first class and if you ever get the chance to meet him, his amazing family or his friends, or do one of his tours, then definitely do it, he will have a positive effect on your life.
Much love and thanks again, Brother!
Dan! ❤️

Excellent guide and fascinating tour - Degu is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and service-oriented. This is a challenging region to travel in and he addresses all issues promptly and thoroughly. Degu understands local culture and tribal societies and politics as only a local guide can. He is consistently helpful and always checks in with you to make sure you’re getting the most out of your experience. The region itself is interesting, with various unique tribal customs, markets, towns and wildlife. I was fortunate enough to witness the bull jumping ceremony, for example. It’s definitely a place that rewards an open and adventurous spirit, and Degu makes it all a genuine pleasure. Compliments also to our driver, Abi, who navigated the local roads and pathways well and was always courteous and smiling. Great job, guys!
