An outstanding human being with an incredible knowledge base, and charming personality.
We had a wonderful time and were treated to the up close viewing of so many magnificent animals. Other than having to push out from the mud trying to bypass a water filled roadway filled speckled with potholes, the trip was a flawless day. Thx again Taufique. You are an incredible host.

Absolutely amazing!
The safari was amazing! And I met a lot amazing new friends. The tour guide was so amazing! Caleb was such an amazing tour guide, good sense of humour! You'll never be bored when he's around! I would recommend him all the way!
However, the camp had some little issues, the WiFi was too weak and the shower water had a funny smell. But all in all the safari was brilliant, will do it again if I get the chance! And thank you again Caleb!

Awesome
Whole safari tour was amazing
And Caleb was so profeesional and humorous
He's so good at spotting animals
So we could se so many animals such as lions, lion cub, chittas, and so on
But the camp wasn't that good
Cuz the wifi doesn't work
And The water smells bad
So i would recommend the lodge than the camp

Carson was knowledgeable, kind, and patient
We chose the Soweto tour and it was eye opening and informative. It was quite emotionally heavy and would recommend it to mostly adults. The transportation was newer and in good condition. We felt safe and well taken care of and our guide was a great communicator throughout the extended tour. The restaurant was unique and appreciated that it was a buffet lunch. Today was Mother’s Day and it was special to see so many locals dressed up and singing/ dancing to celebrate! I would recommend this tour company and valued that some of the proceeds went to help those less fortunate in the community!

Decent
Our driver, Joseph, was very friendly and helpful. It seemed like there was a lot of miscommunication from the company and a couple other passengers so we were delayed leaving the origin station and had a very full bus for the first portion of the drive until we met another driver to transfer a few people. Joseph was quite apologetic and did his best to make up for the situation.

Wisdom was an absolute star 5 times over, he was informative and ensured we could view the animal si
There was miscommunication as to the time when we would be collected from the resort for the drive, but otherwise the taxi did return to collect us for the game drive

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
