Private family tour - Our trip to debre ziet was unexpectedly memorable and entertaining during the eight days we were touring the cities of the large state, reminding us of the road movies. We were not always able to watch the landscape as better action and drama was unfolding inside the bus. We are happy to complement our tour manager Mickey for his dedication and commitment to his profession and would be happy to recommend him to those who are desirous of using the services of Danakil Depression Tours.

The people, places, and memories will lie within us forever.
