Lovely trip with lots of culture and interesting points of view. - Very nice and interesting Omo valley tour with top Omo valley tours. We brought a wheel chair and it was no problem!!! I loved all the tribes. Mursi was very interesting to see their daily life. Dassanech were were nice and quiet tribe. With hamar tribe we got to see a bride and even the bull jump ceremony which was the highlight of our tour. Please keep in mind that the bull jumping ceremony is a very cultural experience. But still you should not miss. Karo tribe and banna was also very interesting

Fantastic experience - A complex and challenging trip has become simple and comfortable with Top Omo Valley Tours. We are 4 Italian friends over 65 and, although we wanted this experience in Ethiopia, we were a little undecided and worried, but Minalu's quick and confident responses by email and WhatsApp right from the first contact convinced us. And actually from the first meeting in Jinka we have always felt calm, protected and safe. In addition to being a guide, interpreter and "guardian angel", Minalu was also an excellent driver, on all types of roads, and a nice and fun travel companion during the 7 days of the tour. An experience in the Omo Valley, with this agency, is recommended to all those travelers who wish, in maximum safety, to escape the usual tourist routes and come into contact with a reality that surpasses all imagination.

Great experience with Minalu Adem - Omo Valley Tours - Great experience, I fully recommend such a trip. Minalu Adem, who gave us maximum attention every day, is a great lover of his country Ethiopia and his approach and all his efforts to show us as much as possible of the Omo Valley is really exemplary. And the local people and villagers also respect and love him. So for me, if I go again, or ever among my friends, then only with Minalu.

An unforgettable experience. - The experience with Top Omo Valley Tours and Minalu was excellent in every way. Before we started the trip, even during our email conversations, Minalu was always very professional and assured us that we would have an unforgettable experience in the Omo Valley. And he couldn't be more right! Everything went perfect, the planning, the timings, the meetings, the experiences, the hotels. The program is very well designed to enjoy the most of what southern Ethiopia has to offer. Minalu knows the region like no one else and moves among the various tribes as a close friend, always with respect that is evident to be reciprocal. He has developed a strong connection with many tribes we visited, which makes the experience and first contact much easier. For those who want a professional service, with a personalized attention, in-depth knowledge of the country's history and culture and a peaceful, pleasant environment full of enriching experiences, the option is without a doubt Top Omo Valley Tours. Totally recommended!! We did the 6 day tour.

Great tour around Ethipia - I was recommended by a friend to take a tour with Minalu, and the experience was very good. 11 days along omo valley, Bale national park and awasa. The driver Chaku and guide Siraj were so profesional during the tour that couldn’t be better. They were open to all my request and made all posible for making me happy. We were a team. Well done guys. The days at the villages and then the wildlife searching were super Amazing. We visited 9 tribes with lovely local people, good photo opportunities, the same with birds, monkeys and other animals. The only thing I would change for the next time is the local guide at Bale national park, it seemed he did not like to wake up early for looking for birds, and everybody knows that you should be at the place as early as posible, and he wanted to start at 8 pm. The food were delicious, with a mix of hotel and local meals. Coffee several times a day came with very friendly talks. A couple of nights at not so good hotels we had, but it was the only possible accommodation in yabelo, that’s what ethiopia sometimes offer. I could even attend to the bull jumping ceremony (the guide was everyday checking where and when it was going to be celebrated) If you did not decide yet, go with Minalu.

I confirm that Africa sickness exists - We did a 10 day tour in the Omo valley, an unforgettable experience. Thanks to our guide Ermy who allowed us to come into direct contact with the local tribes, working hard to make our experience as authentic as possible. The organization is perfect also thanks to the punctuality and reliability of our driver Teddy who has covered hundreds of kilometers making us always feel safe. What can I say, an experience that leaves an indelible mark. We can confirm that the African sickness exists and we are already dreaming of returning as soon as possible to visit the north. Thank you with all my heart

Unique experience - Excellent experience. We were lucky enough to be driven for 10 days from Addis Ababa round trip to the Omo Valley by a wonderful guide called Ermi and a fabulous driver called Teddy who went out of their way to make our trip perfect, and they succeeded. From the slightly more touristy villages to the ones where we were alone, from the bull jump (not to be missed) to the sight of a school, from the many colorful markets to the desolate savannah lands, everything was capable of leaving us speechless. The facilities were all well above expectations, the organization always perfect, punctual and precise. I thank Minalu for the service provided which is worth every penny spent

Omo Valley Tribes - This experience made me feel very emotional in a good way. We learned a lot about all three tribes we visited thanks to our guides Minalu, Ermi and the driver, they made a pretty good team. It was a really meaningful trip full of culture, traditions, amazing views and local food. I totally recommend this!

The best! - We did 11 days Omo Valley tour. It was perfect from the beginning until the end. Contact was always - before and during the trip - perfect. Omo Valley Tours took excellent care of us all the time. Thank you again for this unforgettable expierience . Again in Ethiopia one day will be with Omo Valley Tours again!

Chebera Churchura National Park via Jimma - I am currently in Ethiopia on a humanitarian visit to Jimma. Prior to travelling to Ethiopia I searched for tours around Jimma and didn’t find any. Online I found Top Omo Valley Tours in Addis Ababa and contacted the principal person there - Minalu. Minalu was quick to respond and organised a follow up phone call. We looked at a few options and given my time limits decided on the Chebera Churchura National Park. Minalu sent me a fully inclusive program with my requirements and price that I found reasonable in Australian standards. I made a bank transfer and Minalu informed me when he had received the money. As planned his agent in Jimma contacted me and his Driver in Jimma ( Berhanu) arrived on the clock. There were no hidden costs and when I got to the park safari lodge - all was paid for ( room, meals, armed park ranger to escort me). The driver organised by Minalu in Jimma is called Birhanu and was excellent. A cheerful chap with a positive can do attitude who speaks several local languages and knew people all along the way. We had multiple stops along the 3.5 hour journey from Jimma to Chebera Churchura. I found him honest and reliable - was up before dawn so I could get photos in the morning light. The park itself was beautiful though the road construction in the middle of the park was noisy and disruptive. The animals are visible from a distance so it’s a different experience to savanna Sadari. I did walk on foot in one place got with 30 meters of an elephant and we backed off. The Chebera safari lodge was clean and served good food. They had wine but if you want coke or beer this has to be ordered in advance. The staff were very kind and accomodating . In summary - I have enjoyed Ethiopia, Jimma and the journey to the Chebera Churchura National Park. I have no hesitation in recommending Minalu at the Top Omo Valley Tours. In Jimma if you need a driver I would ask Minalu to organise Birhanu who was excellent.
