WHO WE ARE?
Degu Omo Valley Tours
Degu Omo Valley Tours was founded by Degu, a passionate traveler and tour operator who graduated with honors from Lion College of Hotel Management. With a deep love for Ethiopia and its diverse cultures, Degu created this company to share the beauty, history, and spirit of the Omo Valley and beyond.
Our mission is simple: to take you to the places we love most while actively supporting and uplifting the communities we care deeply about. Our guides are not just experts—they are locals. Born, raised, and educated in the very regions they guide you through, they bring authenticity, insight, and a deep personal connection to every tour.
Most of our team members are multilingual, allowing for meaningful interactions with both travelers and locals. We believe in responsible tourism, so we partner with locally-owned businesses and dine at traditional restaurants to ensure that your journey also benefits the communities you visit.
Touring Ethiopia requires local knowledge and strong logistics. The terrain is rugged, the infrastructure is still developing, and the beauty is untamed. At Degu Omo Valley Tours, we specialize in navigating these challenges so you can experience the raw, majestic wonder of Ethiopia with ease, comfort, and unforgettable moments.
Our Story
Degu’s journey began as a young boy growing up among the diverse tribes of the Omo Valley. Over the years, his natural connection to the land and people evolved into a lifelong mission: to share the beauty of his home with the world in a way that honors tradition and empowers local communities.
With over a decade of guiding experience, Degu founded Degu Omo Valley Tours to offer visitors more than just a sightseeing trip — we offer a bridge into the heart of Ethiopia’s most culturally rich and remote region.
Our Mission
We are committed to promoting responsible tourism that respects and sustains the cultural and environmental integrity of the Omo Valley. Every tour directly supports local families, artisans, and community projects. We believe in travel that uplifts — where both visitors and locals benefit and learn from one another.
