ABOUT ME
NETSANET
One night, after a day spent with the Mursi tribe in Ethiopia, our local guide broke off the conversation, looked at me, and said: “I have an Amharic name for you now: Netsanet”. When I asked him what it meant, he answered with a word that made time stand still: Freedom. That trip transformed me.
When I returned to Bilbao, I etched that name into my skin. For a long time, I wondered what place it would hold in my life; today I know that names with such power always end up carving out their own destiny. Netsanet Private Expeditions, is finally, that path.
Of Basque-Nigerian heritage and raised in Bilbao, I’ve always seen life as an open horizon. I’ve devoted the past twenty years to the airport industry, balancing my career with an inexhaustible passion: travel. Along the way, I’ve explored fifty countries, twenty of them in Africa and fifteen entirely on my own.
My gaze lingers on the hidden corners of the world, where cultures keep their essence intact. I offer you my intuition, my experience, and my network of fully trusted local guides so you can discover the world in a completely safe and exclusive way.

OUR SHIELD
On my right foot I bear an ancestral symbol of protection for travelers.
It was etched by a tufuga, a master tattooist, using the traditional technique, on the island of Samoa in Polynesia.
Those lines bring this agency’s logo to life; they represent the promise of care, respect, and safety that I extend to every one of our expeditions to Angola, the Comoros Islands, Togo, and Madagascar.
