Hay guys, glad you made it and it looks like you had an awesome time. It took me a long time to find Emmanuel. He really is a good guide, happy to see you decided to follow my advice. Hope you said hi to him from me. Did you get the chance to visit the other volcano? Safe travels... Come to Ethiopia, the Danakil Depression is supposed to be more amazing than Nyiragongo!
