Excellent visits in an end of the world setting. - We went to Lake Abbot in 2 days and visited Lake Assal in one day. Extraordinary landscapes, complete change of scenery with drivers and guides very interesting and documented. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Days full of discoveries. Congratulations to Moussa and his team Mohamed and Abdoula.

Unforgettable Experience with Mr. Moussa - We had an incredible experience exploring with Mr. Moussa! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic visit. He is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also absolutely hilarious.
Mr. Moussa truly cares about his guests and made sure we were comfortable, informed, and enjoying every moment. The places we visited, especially Lake Assal, were breathtaking, and having such a kind, energetic guide made the experience even more special.

Moussa could show me around my house and make it the time of my life - Booked the trip the day before, and had the option to go the same day. Its about 5-6 hours, so you can do it in a half day too if you're short on time.
Great views, through the desert to the Djibouti Canyon, onto Lake Assal, with viewpoints over the devils islands, the start of the red sea, and a visit to the eerie basalt land where the rift valley starts. Well worth it. I was solo, just me and Moussa, and we had a great time, he's a great guy, local to Djibouti, with a passion and knowledge for the land that's unrivaled. Can't recommend enough.

Excellent tour - I had the most exciting tour of Djibouti city,Canyon of Dimbaya, Lake Assal , mountains and sea with Abdulla and Omar. Though Djibouti is a small country, there was so much to see. Beautiful landscapes and volcanic formstions.
Tour was worthing seeing and well conducted. My stay at Ras Dika hotel was pleasant too. It was in city centre and location was close to all the atteactions and facilities too.
I strongly recommend this tour.

Great tour! - Abdullah was fantastic! The tour was robust across most of Djibouti (since the country is so small) and I highly recommend it!

I recommend this tour! - I had really nice experiences of Lake Assal and Grand Bara desert!
This time is my first visit to Djibouti, but I enjoyed all things.
My tour guide and driver are very kind and explained a lot. I took many good pictures. Lake Assal and Grand Bara desert are breathtaking, I can’t believe even now that I have been at those places !!

I did a one day tour from Djibouti city to go visit lake Assal, the great Canyon of Djibouti, the geologic, formations and separation in the rift Valley, fumeroles lava tubes, Hot Springs and so much more. My guide, Rashid was simply fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. He was kind, courteous, on time and incredibly responsive to my many inquiries. The transport vehicle was excellent. Lunch was very well organized, and I really appreciate how flexible Rashid was with the schedule to allow me to see things that weren’t specifically on the Tour list. overall a great experience. Highly recommend what a fantastic organization.

3D Djibouti - We were a group of 8pax. Musa and Ahmed did a fantastic job of organising everything and everything went smoothly.
Musa has contacts everywhere and relived whatever issues.
