Standard-Tour operator in Ethiopia - We enjoyed our trip to Omo Valley with our guide Mickey and driver woreku . We hired mickey for a 3 nights tour to Omo Valley. We contacted him via email and then via what’s up. He picked us up at the airport in Jinka. First night we camped at the Bana Tribe village. The experience and interaction with the family of Gaya was beyond awesome. Next day we drove to Turmi to see the Hamar drive where one of the tribe’s wife invites you for coffee ceremony inside one of the villages home. The natives like to be photographed so be ready with lots of 5 birrs on hand. Then on our third day we crossed the Omo Valley river on a boat made from fig tree bark to see the Mursi tribe. They are the most decorated tribe and the most aggressive for me. They crowd you for photos and almost forces you to take one with them. Our overall experience in Omo Valley will never be forgotten, and thanks to mickey for allowing us to enjoy it. You can contact mickey by writing him here. Negotiation is a must, whether you do 3 to 5 tribes. You may or may not include hotel and food, but mind you they are cheap.

Classic -Tour operator in Ethiopia - Arba Minch Trip this July: First time travelling with Danakil Depression Tours and we strongly recommend them for the below reasons. 1. Highest priority given to traveller safety, comfort, and overall well-being when it comes to transits , accommodation, and food. 2. Amazing tour operators. We had Mr. Mickey with usin Addis and Abey omo valley , both highly confident at their job, professionalism evident and keen on making our trip enjoyable, entertaining, and informative. Both of them were supportive and pleasant in accepting our requests and were flexible with the itinerary, ensuring all site visits were done without any hustle and on time. Keep up the good work!👍 Wishing the team all success and happiness in all their future trips.

Experienced guide ,drivers and Easy way to find group - Had a fantastic and fun filled guided group tour of omo valley. This was my first experience with danakil tours and happy and excited to say that it was a great one. Thanks for the well selected hotels. It enhanced our overall experience. The restaurants were also good,but could have been better. Our tour manager Mr Mickey was very helpful. A very kind hearted, jovial, courteous, fun filled character who was always around when we needed him and very patient with everyone on the tour. He needs a great round of appreciation for taking care of us throughout. Thank you Mickey and danakil tours. Word of appreciation also to our local tour guides Abey in omo valley Looking forward to some more great experiences with you

10/10-Simply the best !Don't doubt for a second - I went with Danakil Tours for the Arba Minch and Jinka tour on the 20th of June. It was a great trip and I enjoyed every second of it. It was organised exceptionally by our tour manager Mickey. He really brought the whole group together with his enthusiasm. He was very friendly and extremely helpful. He, along with the guides really helped us see the true heart of both Arba Minch and Jinka I really recommend everyone to try fortune tours for their next trip abroad. I can’t wait to go on my next trip with them

Unforgettable 4 days Omo valley tour - It was amazing private tour to Omo Valley. Mickey met me in the airport in Addis Ababa ,purchased for me ticket to Jinka, obtained for me local sim card which was very helpful and took me to my hotel. Next day on arrival to Jinka I was met but my guide Aby and his driver. Lovely people, they were visiting with me 4 local tribes for 4 days and even took some extra mile which wasn’t in the program and that was very kind of them. 4x4 vehicle was pretty new and always clean inside/out.Both guide and driver spoke very week English . That tour should be on “must do list” of every traveller and I would recommend this company. Next time when I’m in Ethiopia I’m planning to book with them Danakil Depression tour.

Highly recommend - Had a great 4 days trip with Danakiol Depression Tours to omo valley That was our first international trip . My wife met with an accident the day before the trip and suffered from minor multiple leg injuries but we couldn't cancel the trip . Tour Coordinator Mr Mickey supported us very well . He was very nice cooperative humble human being , also available at dot time, whenever needed. We are so grateful to him. Friends told us that, the group tour would be like taking out school children in a row , but we never felt like that . The trip was really felt outing with our own family. Even though all were from diff cities, in the end of trip , everyone became like family and friends . we enjoyed a lot . The local guide Ms.Beki also exceptional . Overall the trip was an amazing experience . The stay in Bangkok was world class. We were so pleased with their service and care . We had an amazing experience with danakil depression tours . Customer service was top notch and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Fascinated trip - I just did a 4 day trip with Awaze tours to the north of Ethiopia with my 70 year old mother. Our driver and all our guides took every possible step to make sure that we were both comfortable, safe and happy for the entire journey. I would highly recommend danakil depression tours to anyone visiting Ethiopia. The entire team is helpful and supportive throughout the whole journey. A special thanks to Alem (an incredible driver and fantastic guide who did everything he could to make our trip as special as it was), Aby (always smiling and knew every corner of Addis), Habte (for organising everything and making the process so easy and care free) and Afram (our fantastic driver in Addis) Hope to see you again soon!

Outstanding tour operator - Outstanding is the least I can say. Planning a trip to a country like Ethiopia is no small feat; considering the complexity of such far away destination, the number of things to see, the fear of getting around in such an exotic place, and if it happens to be in your Bucket List, the must-be-perfect concern, seems to be an overwhelming task. Nonetheless, after coming back from a 20 days trip organized with Danakil Depression Tours ,I can say we made the perfect choice! My wife and I wanted to see many different things, and having a passion for photography knew we were going to be a bit of a pain taking longer than usual in every place as well as along the route. Through a lengthy exchange of emails previous to the trip we made all that clear to the people of Danakil Depression Tours and at the end agreed on an itinerary that on paper was perfect. Now, 20 days later, more than 2,400 Klms (1,500 miles) traveled by land, 5 domestic flights, 3,371 pictures, and 8 hotels from North to South, I can say it was way better than expected. We took a direct flight from Washington DC to Addis Ababa and after landing the adventure began. Every day was a trip by itself, our guides were always on time and although we had a detailed itinerary we always had room to change it depending on how things developed or how we felt. Wanted to spend more time here or there, fine; tired and wanted to cut it short, fine; wanted to add this on the route, fine also; it was a perfect routine where we always felt that the main objective was for us to enjoy the experience. We went to Lake Tana, the Blue Nile, Gondar, Simien Park, Lalibela, Harar, and spent a week traveling among tribes in the Omo Valley. Every place was incredible but the fact that we did this in close contact with the people of the country made a huge difference. The work done planning with Alex and on the ground experience with Bre and Alex was just out of this world. Very professional, dependable and truly concerned with us fulfilling our objectives of the trip. We avoided a couple of areas due to either time constraints or concerned with the conflict up North (which by the way does not limit in any way your ability to plan your trip) and now we know whom to call! Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

The Most Authentic Omo Valley Tour - We have traveled to 74 countries and this by far was one of the best trips yet. We had seen Micjey’s name repeated in many of the reviews. We also had an excellent recommendation from a friend who traveled with him previously. The recommendations were all true and our time with Da akil Depression Tours and Mickey exceeded our expectations. First he knows the languages and the tribal people and they know and respect him. Secondly his fully outfitted 4 x 4 and the small group concept (it was just me and my wife) made it possible for us to visit remote places and see/photograph ceremonies that would not be available to larger groups . Thirdly he was flexible and responsive with regard to our needs and desires. The tour was pretty much Taylor made to meet our goals. Finally Mickey is a nice person; he has a great sense of humor, he is positive and his general demeanor made every day positive and fruitful. We are 72 & 67 but our visit to this remote part of the world was without any negative issues/events.

Excellent experience - Excellent experience. We were lucky enough to be driven for 10 days from Addis Ababa round trip to the Omo Valley ,danakil and around addis by a wonderful guide called Aby and a fabulous driver called Eferem who went out of their way to make our trip perfect, and they succeeded. From the slightly more touristy villages to the ones where we were alone, from the bull jump (not to be missed) to the sight of a school, from the many colorful markets to the desolate savannah lands, everything was capable of leaving us speechless. The facilities were all well above expectations, the organization always perfect, punctual and precise. I thank Mickey for the service provided which is worth every penny spent
