    Travelling to Arba Minch and Omo Valley is definitely an unforgetable experience. During our visit we saw many wild animals including eagles, hippos, cocrodiles, and more as well as the most famous communities such as Hamar, murky, Karo and many more. The tour company Eyayaw tours is fantastic. They prepared a great itinerary and were always ready for unexpected changes. The guide Gebru and our driver Tafe are simply fantastic. We felt very safe at all times. The roads are pretty bad so having the adequate car and driver is very important. Bravo to Eyayaw tours
