Stunning views in the Simien Mountains - The Simien Mountains must be one of the World's best kept secrets, the views are absolutely stunning. 1000 metre cliffs, 500 metre waterfall with wildlife and much more. A lot of the time you are above 3200 metres and it is possible to hike to over 4400 metres. Mickey the owner of Danakil Depression Tours organised this trip for me and it was brilliant. Unlike some tour operators Mickey employs some of his own people in the different areas where his company runs trips. This means he has a level of control over the tours that he runs which is not something not all operators have. This also means there is a degree of flexibility that can respond to the situation. For example in some parts of Ethiopia the FCDO recommends against travelling, but I travelled from Bahis Dar - Gonder - Simien Mountains and did not see any signs of conflict and I was not troubled by the military or FANO checkpoints, so yes I travelled against FCDO advice but I'm happy I did. Zemen my guide in the mountains, in discussions with me, adapted the planned activities to take account of my capabilities and wishes, and I did everything I wanted to safely and without concerns. Our cook (employed by Mickey) was a great guy and prepared delicious, nutritious and plentiful food. In summary a great trip to a part of Ethiopia which is sadly neglected by many tourists. So big thanks to Mickey and his team.

The amazing Simien Mountains - The 3 day Simien Mountains Tour was great. Unfortunately I ended up being the only one on the tour as two other people cancelled. However, the guide spoke good English and we ended up having some good conversations. I was well looked after and fed by the team of 6. We saw a variety of wildlife, including 5 Red Wolves and lots of Gelada monkeys. Mickey came to my hotel in Addis and gave me what I felt was honest information on the current security situation in Amhara province. This enabled me to make an informed decision and go on the tour. Everything, was organized from Addis, flights to/from Gonder, pickup, vehicle, gear, tents, food and all ran smoothly I would recommend Mickey and Danakil Depression Tours.

Fantastic experience - A trip from God's own country to the Heaven on earth Simien Mountains, this was a dream come true for me and my family. From the day we contacted Danakil Depression Tours to the day before our travel, all details were promptly communicated and handled by Mr.Mickey. Our tour manager Mr Danilo was exceptional in managing the trip schedules, which at times had some slippages mainly due to unexpected weather conditions. He was more of a good travel companion and friend than being a guide. Though it was a group tour, the itinerary was well planned that we had enough time for our personal activities as well. We truly had our most memorable vacation so far and will surely go on more tours with Danakil Dpression Tours.
