Our trip was very special! - I am here to write my testimony on your amazing service ETT. We just got back from our trip yesterday and wanted to tell you that our Danakil Tour was the best experience traveling we have ever had. All our tour guides were good, but want to especially recognize Habtom in Mekele and Fasil our tour leader who was outstanding. So many thanks for your help in making the trip happen ETT.

Superb Experience - First of all I'd like to say thank you to ETT. I'm really glad to chose this company for the tour in Danakil depression. There was a professional driver and an amazing guide with us every single day. Since every guide was from that particular place, they knew a great deal about the places. As for the tour itself, we've been to many places and since the guide knew very well about each places, we could visit each places at the perfect timing without stress. I think if we went there by ourselves, it won't be that smooth. Also since they politely answered to all the questions, it was really helpful to understand each place better. I'll definitely use this company for my future travel to Ethiopia. Once again, thank you for the great opportunity ETT!

ALWAYS ETTETT! - We really enjoyed the Danakil depression tour with ETT. Very informative and interesting. Sefora changed the tour a bit as we wanted to go to the sulpher springs and photograph the sunset. We had a fun time. We will be back soon.

Truly Remarkable - I visited the danakil depression this summer. It was a rainy season in most of Ethiopia but not in Afar region. The salt lake was good alongside the sulphur springs. To anyone who like to have amazing adventure, don't miss out on this experience.
