Hi. I'm Dario, the guide who will make your trip in Ethiopia truly unforgettable. I was born in Rome from an Italian/Ethiopian family but I was raised in Ethiopia. I developed a passion for travel at a young age and after graduating, my Ethiopian origins and the different languages I speak motivated me into getting involved in Tourism. From the very first trip I led when I was 18, I thrive on showing clients the little gems off the beaten track and amazing experiences I have gained throughout the years. Coming from a mixed parental background and going to university in London, I believe I have the necessary and essential qualities and attributes to bridge the gap between people of different nationalities and local customs and traditions. Living and guiding in Ethiopia, along with my experience in London aided me in developing the skills needed to engage with clients of different ages and nationalities. I believe this was one of the main reasons I received a Bronze award for Tour leader of the year in 2013 in an international travel magazine. I offer a range of standard tours in Ethiopia along with custom tours designed to meet your specific interests and needs. Hope I can help and show you my beautiful country! - 12 years experience organising and guiding tours in Ethiopia and the Caucasus - BA (Hons) Degree in Travel and Tourism 'University of Westminster', London, W1B 2UW - Bronze award for Tour leader of the year in 2013 - My dissertation was based on 'What tour operators do to minimise their impacts on local cultures and traditions: Case study: Omo Valley' - Mountain trekking course 2015 - Outdoor First Aid Course - updated every 2 years.

The Lower Omo Valley is one of the most ethnically diverse regions in Ethiopia, and even the African continent, thanks to the cultural diversity of over a dozen tribes. The valley is mostly a dry savanna expanse fed by the Omo River, one of their most important resources. Along the river and throughout the valley region, hundreds of small tribal villages pepper the landscape, each of them with their unique customs and even their own language. The Lower Omo Valley region has been declared a Unesco World Heritage site. Each tribe has a different dress and tradition. Some even follow a religion, including Islam and Christianity while others are animist. Some tribes are settled agro-pastoralists, while others are nomadic or semi-nomadic cattle herders. It's just a very diverse world in this valley!
