I have traveled with them this summer and they have always behaved phenomenal. In addition I have of decirte that llevabamos best 4x4 of all the local agencies that are teeming by the south. If you can also make the trip by the north in car you I recommend it because the landscapes are spectacular.

Operating with a Television station usually requires a lot of precision, dependability and flexibility as well, and most of all, it needs one to be good at team work.
Sora tours has proved exactly that. Since our first meeting back in 2003, we have been travelling to Ethiopia a lot almost every year. Abraham, Fuad, Getnet, Sintayehu are all wonderful people that make sora tours one of the best. Mr. Osman ofcourse is at the head of all this, coordinating and making sure all goes well.
In the years to come, it would be our pleasure to keep and improve the wonderful working relationship we have with sora tours ethiopia. The success of our documentary filmings have mainly to do with their outstanding performance.

Overall, very positive experience. Both Osman + Fuad extremely helpful in arranging activities. Omo Valley, especially stay in Turmi area the highlight. Market visit at Dimeka and bulljumping provided a very authentic experience. . . . . .Fuad is a conscientious + responsible driver and takes great pride in his work and vehicle. . . . . . . . Melkamu in Lalibela is to be recommended as knowledgeable and helpful.

/Omo Valley-Harar-Danakil Depression/ - November 2005
Marvellous experience, Omo Valley was beyond my expectation. Totally different and unique as to what I had in mind. Harar and the market in Bati were also very nice. Colourful I may add. Erta Ale volcano in the Danakil depression was a side of nature I though i would never ever live to see. Thanx to your sturdy vehicles, professional moves and determination, we made it! . . . .
Thankyou once again for all : Getnet, Melkamu, Girum, and last but not least to Mr. Osman, without whom the excellent coordination of this all wouldn't have been possible!

Although I had always been told Ethiopia is one of the most beautiful countries in Africa, the way you all performed during my trip even surpassed my expectations. I especially liked the tribes down south in the Omo Valley and the birdlife both in Awassa and in the National Parks.
Being always a surprise to find out in practise whom you have made a deal with through the internet, you really lived up to my expectations, being safe drivers and performing the program that we had agreed upon for the full 100%.
I am definitely bound to come back to Ethiopia again, and then it will not be difficult for me to choose sora tours ethiopia to drive me around again.
Lots of luck to all of you at sora tours, and just in case you need any references, drop me an email.
All the best and see you again,

/Omo Valley-North Ethiopia-Harar/ - August 2005
An exceptionally refreshing experience. The whole trip took about 27 days, long but believe me worth every minute and for that matter every penny!
Our trip had been perfectly designed with the efforts of Mr. Osman and Angels from Spain. Practical wise, all went well except an incident in Konso where the children were so NAGGY! It was a bit beyond my tolerance level. Someone has to do something about that. Otherwise, all was perfect : a very ethical, professional driver we had, Fuad. Melkamu, the guide in Lalibela and Girum in Gondar also have to be commended. Team work was best expressed with sora tours. Keep it up, a much brighter future I see ahead of you. Definitely won't hesitate to recommend you all to anyone. Thanks once again for all!
