Looking for South Omo companion 24th

Hello everyone. My brother and I are looking at going down to South Omo for 5-6 days sometime around Feb 24th to Mar 3rd. We're hoping to get a car & guide from Arba Minch.

Are there 1-2 persons interested in joining us to help defray costs?

Cheers,
Matt

Hey Mat

Me and my friend Christina are very interested in joing you, however we have a flight from Addis back to Europe already on 3rd of March so if we can move a little bit the dates we would be more than happy. Feel free to contact me on mildabag@yahoo.com if you have already planned the trip.

Keep in touch

Thanks for the tip. In fact, Firtretu was one of the tour operators I asked for a quote. Funny you say $110/day for driver/car/guide. He gave me a quote of 130 Euros/day for the same, and this was after bargaining. He also quoted me 50 Euro per person per day for CAMPING, which seems quite outrageous.

I've found another local guide who offers a similar itinerary of staying with the tribes, and the cost is hundreds less. I'll be sure to let the forum know how things go!
