5 +stars - I have relied heavily on previous reviews and chose danakil depression tours o organise our 12- day tour through Ethiopia. Emails were always answered promptly and good advise given regarding different sites/ options for our itinerary. We were really taken care of from the moment we landed in Addis Ababa. Everything was meticulously planned, everything thought of and all was printed and given to us in writing. Then I think it came the greatest test when for reasons not related to the trip, we had to cut the trip short by 3/4 days and return to London last minute. Not only the response time from the agency to my emails was prompt but they did everything to make the process easy for us taking care of us until the last minute. Given that the impromptu change was due to my own unforeseen circumstances, I know danakil depression (or any other company in this circumstances) would not be legally obliged to return any money. However, the owner himself Mickey came to our hotel to refund everything that was un-spent expense for the cancelled days. What good impression I already had from planning the trip with them to the days we spent in Ethiopia with Danakil Depression tours was exponentially extrapolated to new levels of professionalism I rarely witnessed in the UK, USA or any other first world agent. I would say without reservations that these people are professional, honest and have the clients interest and well being as their top priority. We will come back to finish our trip one day and explore other parts of the country and will use them again for sure.

Ethiopia Travel forum - We recently had an amazing trip to Arba Minch ,jinka and Turmi. It was a 5 day trip and we were really worried since it was our first trip to africa . We were a family of 4 that is we have 2 kids who were very small 4 and 2 years old. So we wanted everything planned and sorted before we started off. To our surprise, we had an amazing travel Agent Mickey who helped us with all our bookings. We had a very good stay in all places and I really enjoyed the stay. We were arranged with a cab which was with us the entire trip. Driver Deepak was really good and very patient to guide us and take us to all incredible places. He gave us insights about the place and made us feel comfortable throughout our tiring long car journeys. We were also assisted by travel guides in jinka and arba minch who explained the history of Ethiopia .They were really patient enough to explain the history of each and every small detail about the place. All thanks to Mickey to help us travel with ease and make our trip a memorable one. we found him.on ethiopia travel forum, honest and reliable.

Wonderful Trip - Our trip with Danakil Depression tours to Singapore and Ethiopia was awesome.. We started for a five day trip from omo valley and were provided with Tour manager Mr Mickey to travel with our team . Mr. Mickey managed the trip crew so carefully that we always felt safe and comfortable. Every time he paid special attention to keep everyone as group and took pain to manage all our activities well organised. He did make sure that we didn’t wait anywhere, let it be in the hotel for getting the keys or for getting the tickets to enter the theme parks. Wonderful experience.. we are happy and satisfied with the service. Keep up the good work👍🏻

One of the best trip in my life - A wonderful experience with Danakil Depression Tours during our 4 nights and 5 days trip to omo valley We were guided by Mr. Mickey , an experienced tour guide, who has a great personality and was well mannered. Was my parent's third trip with them and myfirst experience . Only with the trust and care that they had previously given, we booked again with them.Very enlighted with the pleasant experience with them. "Mickey handles everything well " - they feed you really well that you will put on weight by the end of the trips , lets you stay only in premium star hotels, everything is well coordinated and arranged. Our tour captian Mr Mickey who was with us throughout the trip is young, vibrant, always with a smile, never on a bad temper even at testing times ,should be highly appreciated. Thank you Danakil Depression Tours and special words of appreciation to Our tour captian Mr Yigzaw ❤️

Life time experience - Perfectly organized photo trip to the south We were there in December 2023 together with the Munich professional photographer Günter Lenz, on a photo trip through the south of Ethiopia. This trip was organized by Mickey, owner of the agency "Danakil Depression Tours. The perfect organization took us to the tribes along the Omo River. The trip went without any problems and gave us a lot of opportunity to get in touch with the locals. Our experienced driver and guide , with knowledge of the country's culture and good knowledge of the German language, rounded off the trip perfectly. We can 100% recommend his company travel to Ethiopia. Thanks to Mickey and his team.

Extraordinary Service - I had the most extraordinary adventure with Mickey. An English friend had recommended that I go with Mickey so I was expecting an excellent experience but it was even more inspiring, fascinating and surprising than I had been led to believe. Since then, I have recommended Mickey to other friends. Like me, they have returned from exploring the Lower Omo River Valley with Danakil Depression Tours , singing his praises. Mickey really knows his stuff having been born and grown up in that area. Also, he has also studied the tribes and developed his knowledge to the extent that he has written a book, now in its second edition, which describes the various tribes and what makes each one unique from the others. Mickey seems to personally know everyone in the areas we visited. He speaks superb English and one could see, everywhere we went, that the locals trusted and respected him. This gave us a sense of closer connection to the interesting and very friendly locals that we met. I can't recommend Danakil Depression Tours highly enough

5 Days Oomo Valley Tours - Our family had a great experience with Danakil Depression tours. We visited omo valley during Christmas vacation. Staring from the day I booked my trip with 'danakil.' we were getting timely instructions and updates from their team. From the time we reached bole addis airport till or return we were well taken care of by danakil team especially by our tour manager Mickeyl. He was like a family member making us all families feeling the same affection towards him. He catered to our needs with utmost care and professionalism. Mickey to team danakil. And to end with they have given us a gift voucher also. Hope to join the Danakil family for the next trip very soon.

Most wonderful and authentic experience - I have all wonderful things to say about this trip and our guide Micky. We had the most authentic experience visiting the various tribes and villages.
