Amazing Danakil Depression Experience
I recently joined the 3-day tour to the Danakil Depression with Essence Ethiopia Tours, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The landscapes were absolutely surreal — from the vibrant sulfur springs of Dallol to the lava lake at Erta Ale, every day offered something unique and spectacular.
The tour was very well organized from start to finish. The logistics were seamless, and everything ran on time. Our drivers were excellent — skilled, friendly, and always helpful, even on the rough off-road sections. The vehicles were in good condition and surprisingly comfortable, considering the harsh terrain. The guides were knowledgeable and eager to share information about the geology, local culture, and history of the area.
One of the highlights was the chance to interact briefly with the Afar people and see how they extract salt in the traditional way. Sleeping under the stars in such a remote and alien landscape was also a one-of-a-kind experience.
However, travelers should be prepared for extremely basic camp conditions. There were no proper toilets, no running water, and no showers available at any of the campsites. Some shelter from the wind would have been appreciated, especially at Erta Ale where strong winds made the night rather uncomfortable. While this is understandable given the remoteness of the area, it’s important to set expectations accordingly.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour for adventurous travelers looking for a raw, otherworldly experience. Just make sure to pack wet wipes, hand sanitizer, and be ready to rough it a little — the payoff is absolutely worth it!

Knowledgeable and friendly.
Good service overall. Great safari guide. Very delicious food made by a cook who traveled with us.
I had an amazing experience and thoroughly enjoyed my time. Only complaint is that my bag got torn slightly, but it was made of thin material so I don’t blame them for that at all.

Bujo Tours did an exceptional job with making our first Safari experience a success.
Anthony went out of his way to make sure we saw as many animals as possible and provided us with a ton of information about them as well.
Highly recommend you book with Bujo

Informative, helpful and welcoming
We didnt get to see as many animals up close as I had expected, but the ones we did see were cute. And we managed to see lion cubs, that was the highlight. The restaurant that we went to before our Giraffe Centre experience gave us very little food (the meat in the food and chicken wings were almost non-existent), so we gave feedback to our tour guide. Thank you to the guide and driver for showing us around!

The team was great Monica and David was so professional and helpful and the gifts was so sweet.
Every thing was great except the lunch that was served in Penety resort was so bad and over priced.

Mixed feelings. Verumy beautiful country but too much gaps between people (Rich and poor) r)
The safari was fantastic...Kruger park is just amazing. Our guide, Harvey, was really good one and good person, fun, patient open- minded. Great moment in the bush. We saw the big five, a one time life expérience.
Then we continue to Joahnesbourg, we was at Sandton and we have opportunity to visit some historical sites and Soweto, very difficult moments (a lot of emotion) but good to do

Communicative and flexible.
I got into contact with Tilman Safaris through a website . I had a possibilty to utilize a few days in connection with a workshop I led in Embu, Kenya and I wanted to get up on Mt Kenya. Charles proved to be flexible and arranged a tour for me with short notice.
I proved to be the only paying participant but there were three staff - a guide, one cook and one porter.
The hiking was good but physically challenging for me. The guide was excellent and adapted the tempo to my ability. He gave interesting information about flora and fauna in the different elevations when we passed. The whole team gave excellent and friendly support during the whole hike.
One thing I found a bit awkward was that we did not eat the meals together - the staff set a table with table cloth and all, served me and left. That meant I ate most of the meals on my own. Not used to that.
In summary it was an excellent trip that despite bad weather resulted in a fantastic experience and many good memories thanks to the staff at Tillman Safaris.

An unforgettable experience right in the city
I booked a half day Nairobi park safari with Hadley and it exceeded my expectations since it was a last minute booking.
I couldn't not believe such a rich wildlife experience was just minutes from the city.
Highly recommend Hadley travel for this tour. The guide John was very superb ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rama is kind, talkative, and has eagle eyes. He can instantly focus on animals in the vast grassland.
Super lucky, I saw a leopard on the first day🐆, then I saw super cute cheetahs🐆 and a big family of lions🦁 and other cute animals like giraffes in cold war🦒, elephants fighting🐘, wildebeests migrating, zebras mating🦓 and so on, it's a pity that I didn't see hunting and eating time, Serengeti is so great, I will be back again!! Magic Serengeti!!!
