Well organized and fantastic guide - I had a wonderful experience traveling to the Dallol and Erta ale with Danakil Depression Tours. The entire trip was very well planned, smooth, and hassle-free. From accommodation to transport and sightseeing, everything was handled professionally, which allowed us to truly enjoy the beauty of the islands without any stress.
A special mention to our guide yohannes , who made the trip even more memorable. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. He explained the culture and importance of places like the afar in a very engaging way and ensured that everyone in the group was comfortable and enjoying the tour.
The itinerary covered all the major highlights including the stunning landscape of danakol, exciting water activities like swimming and walking through lake assale ,
Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I would highly recommend Danakil Tours to anyone planning an Ethiopia trip. Excellent service, well-organized tours, and a fantastic guide like yohanes truly make all the difference.

Fabulous time with Mickey and his team - recently traveled to Addis ,3days Danakil with the Danakil depression Tours team, and it was a truly memorable experience. Delhi impressed me with its vibrant blend of history and modern life, while Danakil timeless gondar left me in awe. Bahir dar with its colorful culture and majestic forts, was the perfect finale to the journey.
I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to our instructor and team leader, Mickey whose dedication, patience, and excellent leadership made the entire trip smooth, enjoyable, and well-coordinated. His guidance added immense value to every moment of the tour.
My sincere thanks also go to Danakil depression Tours for their outstanding programming and travel coordination. The arrangements were thoughtful, seamless, and truly elevated the whole experience.

Amazing team and wonderful service - This is my first travel with Danakil Depression Tours Needless to say it was truly wonderful experience. The food, accommodation and travel were excellent.
Our tour Manager Mr Mickey made himself available to us we could freely approach him when need arose.
Mr Melaku made the trip even more memorable with his exceptional skill in explaining the past and present of Addis Ababa bringing the city close to us through his words.
Wishing many more travels with Danakil, hopefully with the same co-ordinaters and the same amazing team.

Excellent Communication - they are very organized and in constant communication with you. It’s frustrating to book with an operator that you don’t hear from at all or until the last minute; not Denakil Depression Travel. I used them for Lalibela as well and had a similar excellent experience.
For the volcano tour- you will get dirty and miss 1-2 nights of showers. Bring a dust mask or bandana and perhaps some wipes to clean with.

Fun time at Danakil :D - Went alone. Had fun, met the locals and other tourists, and got to see danakil. Really nice experience overall. Probably bring a mask or face covering just in case. When i went, volcano had erupted and there was ashes everywhere. Also sulfur smell. Sadly, since volcano erupted when i visited, there wasnt a lava river, but of course, the crater I saw was brand new. Mother nature gives and takes

An incredible 8 day Ethiopia itinerary - highly recommended! - Truly incredible! Mickey was amazing at planning our 8 days in the country and his communication and ability to adapt the plan was brilliant. I arrived with an illness I picked up in my home country and he instantly adapted our plan to let me rest for a day. He still ensured we got to see everything we had wanted to. We were so well looked after from day 1 to day 8.
I asked for a tailor made plan for the 8 days, fitting in Gondar, Bahir Dar, Addis Ababa and Danakil Depression and Mickey organised it with precision. All local guides were great and had amazing knowledge of the area, country and best places to visit. Everyone we dealt with was so professional and friendly!
I highly recommend contacting Mickey to organise your trip to Ethiopia, my friend and I agreed it was the best holiday we’ve been on in so long! I will definitely be returning to Ethiopia and asking Mickey to plan the next trip!

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.

The best of Ethiopia - 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 Yohannes 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 Yohannes really made sure we are well and safe. He even had to get extra watet 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, Yohannes, and his team to my family and friends planning a trip to Ethiopia.
