Very reliable country
I travelled with Danakil Depression Tours and Travel in April and explored the North (Lalibela, Bahir Dar, Gondar) , South (Omo Valley), and Danakil region. I found Mickey always polite and responsive. He reacted and reorganised things quickly when flights got cancelled (out of his control) and respected by budget and planned accordingly. I recommend the company highly.

Excellent Guide
We did thorough research before booking with this company, and true to what many other reviewers said, Mickey and his team proved to be exceptionally reliable. Communication was prompt and professional, and Mickey even went the extra mile to help us find accommodation in Addis Ababa—something that wasn’t part of the tour package. When I accidentally transferred double the deposit, Mickey refunded the extra amount immediately, which spoke volumes about his honesty and integrity. We also had the pleasure of meeting him in person, and he was as warm and friendly.
On the tour itself, our guide Jonas was professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. We felt safe and well cared for throughout the journey. On the first day, our vehicle broke down in the middle of nowhere, but assistance arrived surprisingly quickly, turning what could have been a stressful situation into part of the adventure. Dallol was hot but Jonas really made sure we are well and safe. He even had to get extra water for us and we were so grateful to him.
The rest of the trip was incredible—Danakil is truly breathtaking. The food was good, the arrangements were smooth, and sleeping under the stars was a magical experience.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mickey, Jonas, and his team to my family and friends planning a trip to Ethiopia.

Unforgettable experience in the Danakil Depression
I had an amazing experience with Danakil Depression Tours. Our guide Jonas was fantastic, kind, funny and very knowledgeable. Mikey, the manager, is such a great person; he even offered me lunch and took me for a small tour the day before departure, which made me feel very welcome.
The tour was well organized and not too tiring. Most of the time we travelled by car with short walks and excursions of about one or two hours. The landscapes were absolutely unique, with salt lakes, volcanic craters, colorful formations and endless desert views that felt like another planet.
The food was very good, mostly pasta, vegetables and meat, so it’s something anyone can eat without any problem. At first I was a bit worried about the food, but it turned out to be great and well prepared.
Everything was perfectly arranged, the team was professional and caring, and I always felt safe and comfortable. I truly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover one of the most fascinating and surreal places on Earth.
