Outstanding 3-Day Danakil Depression Adventure - Exceeded All Expectations! - Just returned from the most incredible 3-day Danakil Depression tour and I cannot recommend this experience highly enough! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and absolutely unforgettable. Jonas, our guide, was absolutely fantastic - not only incredibly knowledgeable about the region but also genuinely funny and entertaining throughout the entire journey. His humor and insights made every moment enjoyable, and you could tell he's truly passionate about sharing this amazing place with visitors. Our driver Berhane deserves special recognition - hands down the best driver I've ever traveled with! His skill behind the wheel was remarkable, and we consistently arrived at each destination ahead of other groups, giving us more time to explore and enjoy the sites without feeling rushed. The scenery is absolutely otherworldly - I'm not exaggerating when I say it looks like you've been transported to another planet! The colors, formations, and sheer uniqueness of the Danakil Depression are stunning beyond words. Every turn revealed something more spectacular than the last. Excellent Food & Logistics: The meals throughout the tour were surprisingly excellent - fresh, flavorful, and perfectly suited for the adventure. No complaints whatsoever about the quality or variety. We shared the tour with other travelers (some doing slightly different itineraries), which added a wonderful social element to the evenings. It was fantastic meeting fellow adventurers and sharing stories around camp - really enhanced the overall experience. I felt completely safe throughout the entire journey. The team clearly prioritizes safety while ensuring you don't miss any of the incredible sights. The pacing was perfect - never rushed, with plenty of time to really soak in each location and take it all in properly. The accommodations were basic sleeping arrangements outdoors, which was exactly what I was hoping for! This is adventure travel at its finest - authentic, raw, and completely immersive. If you're looking for luxury hotels, this isn't for you, but if you want a genuine adventure experience, this is perfect. Book this tour - you won't regret it for a second!

Maximum effectiveness, organization and above all trust - Both 3 Days Danakil Depression and 3 Days omo tribes trip were amazing, we saw a lot of interesting attractions. The organization of this company is incredible. Everything is synchronized so that you can enjoy your stay to the fullest. If I have to come back, I will definitely hire the services of Aman EthiopiaTours, as I have been very satisfied with them. Thank you very much

Personalized Experience! - Excellent service, superb food and atention. The whole trip was well organized and with very good hotel, guide and picnic food (one of the best we saw). Yihun did a great job and was always ready to do what ever we need. Just to mention jeep should be a little bit updated ( nothing important just to mention it)

Genuine service - Overall, it was a pleasant journey, especially because of the nice cost and the good quality of the resorts and camp! But still, some aspects for improvement e.g. inadequate information of guide are sent to us only one day advanced after repeatedly urge. Moreover, we choosed minivan but it seemed to old, the tire and battery of the Van both failed in the road, we waste many times to fix it up. In all, the journey of Tigray Tours but the other trip arrangements was ok!

Ethiopia - This tour was fantastic. Joseph, the guide, was brilliant in explaining background information to the sites, but what made him special was his insight and explanation on another Ethiopian way of life. The food was excellent typical Ethiopian food and we laughed great with the driver and the guide.

3 Days Danakil Depression Tours Via Semera - I like the whole trip, 3 days Danakil trip is definitely enough for me. I don't see there is a reason to have a longer trip. We are quite lucky to see all the active lava volcano & and the beautiful color parts of Dallol The all arrangements were really great but don't expect too much on the lunch side.

Amab Ethiopia Tour Visit the Ethiopian Desert in the Danakil Desert - Mr Solomon from Aman Ethiopia Tours was a wonderful man. They were patient with our large group even while we were rescheduled and rescheduled. They Guided us through the entire Pro process and planned the best holidays for us. From transportation to celebrating my mother's birthday everywhere in the Danakil Basin to Speciality Lodging and tours, every detail was clearly thought out. Aman Ethiopia Tours is highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.
