An Incredible Journey to One of the World's Most Extraordinary Natural Wonders
My partner and I booked the 3 Day Tour to Bale Mountains with Danakil Depression Tours, and it was one of the most memorable adventures we've ever shared. The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, from the vast Sanetti Plateau to the lush Harenna Forest, and every day brought a new experience. We were fortunate to spot rare wildlife, including the Ethiopian wolf and mountain nyala, which made the trip even more special. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about the park's unique ecosystem and ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout the journey. The tour was perfectly organized, with comfortable transportation and a well-paced itinerary that allowed us to truly appreciate the beauty of Bale Mountains National Park. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Danakil Depression Tours to anyone looking for an authentic Ethiopian nature adventure.

A very serious and helpful tour operator
We left requests to "let's wander Tanzania" and received a proposal that was absolutely perfect for us. We visited the Serengeti Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire and got to see most of the animals with very good stories about each type of animal. We also rode a hot air balloon which was an unforgettable experience "recommended" We had very good help before planning the trip because we could write to Christian Mabula and get advice and answers to our questions that we had very quickly. Really recommend lets wander Tanzania it can't get better.

Thoughtful, knowledgeable, and friendly
Truly incredible experience with great guides, Musa and Moses! Very seamless experiencing both Kenya and Tanzania. Saw the Big Five and so much more. Guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. Accommodations are generally nice and buffet food options. The staff are very accommodating. Just be aware that there are many days with long drives on bumpy roads. Overall great experience and highly recommend! Price is very reasonable for the time spent compared with bigger companies.

AWESOME!! Michael our Tour Guide was so knowledgeable, kind and warm.
This is my 2nd time back to Tanzania and 2nd time with this company for Safari. The folks from the beginning to the end were great. Our tour guide, Michael was the BEST!! He was so knowledgeable on everything. Names of the animals, what they do, mate, where they hide, what noises they make, and same with all the birds (nests, where they lay their eggs, etc).
The camp we stayed in Pori Pori was great. Exceptionally clean and it was all ran by men. They did an AWESOME JOB!! The chef was out of this world, the food!! To DIE FOR!!!
I would recommend. I have to give a BIG SHOUT-OUT to all of the gals at the Safari Lodge when we arrived and while we stayed a week. I ended up getting sick and for those 2 days, they went above and beyond in making sure I had soup, sprite, just checking on me that I was okay. 10 STARS!!
Overall, great time!!

Top-level service and organization, individual approach
My husband and I have booked a private safari tour to Ngorongoro. A great, unforgettable journey, starting from the airport: the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser in good condition with a great Benno ranger. The Ranger took into account all our wishes. I was surprised that on the second day of traveling, the ranger came to the car from the car wash, although after the first day it was in a completely clean condition. On safari, I managed to see lionesses with cubs, zebra, wildebeest, pumbaa, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, gazelle, elephant, hyena (I was lucky enough to watch how gazelle hunts), buffalo, bobouin, daman and various large birds. We were also delighted with the Luhari hotel, which the tour operator picked up for us to spend the night after the safari: convenient location near the reserve, excellent service, excellent food, rooms with design renovation.

Get everything you want!
I had a wonderful trip with Michael. He communicated regularly via WhatsApp both before and during. He was happy to answer all questions I had before arriving and was always accessible once I arrived. The best thing was that he tailored my trip to exactly what I wanted. And on the trip, he took me to see exactly the animals I wanted to see. He was even kind enough to take fantastic photos and videos for me, because I just wanted to enjoyed it and not do that. He also took me to shops where i could find handmade goods that I asked him to find for me. I found his pricing to be much better than others on such an individual safari trip. I world definitely recommend him!! In fact, I think I might have to go back again!

A Remarkable Adventure Through the Danakil Depression That Exceeded Every Expectation
My friends and I booked the 3 Day Simien Mountains Tour with Danakil Depression Tours, and it was one of the most exciting adventures we've ever experienced together. The breathtaking mountain scenery, dramatic escarpments, and fresh highland air made every hike unforgettable. We were lucky enough to see gelada baboons up close and enjoyed countless panoramic viewpoints along the trails. Our guide was knowledgeable, encouraging, and always made sure the group was comfortable while sharing fascinating facts about the region's wildlife and history. The itinerary was well organized, and every detail—from transportation to accommodations—was handled professionally. Thanks to Danakil Depression Tours, we created memories that we'll be talking about for years to come.

The safari of a lifetime thanks to Geofrey and Lion King Adventures!
If you are thinking about going on a safari in Tanzania, there is only one thing I can recommend with certainty: ask for Geofrey as your guide.
In seven days he gave us an experience we will never forget. His knowledge of nature, animals, and Tanzania is simply extraordinary. Every day was a fascinating lesson; he explained everything in the smallest details and answered every one of our questions with enthusiasm.
His experience is evident at every moment. He is not just a guide; he is an exceptional professional who knows the territory, animal behavior, and every corner of the parks like the back of his hand. Thanks to his expertise, intuition, and incredible ability to read nature, we were able to see all of the Big Five and an impressive number of other animals, often even before other vehicles noticed their presence.
But what impressed us even more was his constant attention to our safety. In every situation we always felt calm and protected, because every decision he made was the result of his great experience.
The care he dedicated to the vehicle was also impeccable. The car was always perfectly prepared, clean, and checked, a detail that shows how much he cares about his work and the experience of his guests.
Geofrey always did everything possible to satisfy us. He was patient, kind, helpful, charismatic, and always smiling. Every choice he made had one goal: to give us the best safari possible.
We can honestly say that we fell in love with Tanzania, and the credit is mostly his. He was the one who transformed a simple safari into a journey full of emotions, wonder, and memories that we will carry with us forever.
When we return to Tanzania, we will without any doubt ask to have Geofrey as our guide again. For us there is no better choice, and we will recommend him to anyone who wants to experience a truly special safari.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Geofrey, for your professionalism, your immense experience, your passion, and the dedication you put into your work every day. You were the true added value of our trip, and we hope your commitment will be recognized as it deserves. People like you do not simply accompany tourists; they make people fall in love with Tanzania.
Asante sana, Geofrey! You gave us the trip of a lifetime and we hope to see you again very soon
Saw everything!
Tour was easy to set up with timely responses. We saw everything we were hoping to see - lions, elephants, zebra, hippos, crocs and even a cheetah on the hunt! Quick three days but with it.
