3-dages Simien Mountains Tours

A group of friends and I joined the 3 Day Simien Mountains National Park Tour with Danakil Depression Tours, and it became one of the best adventures we’ve shared together. The mountain views were breathtaking, and the hiking experience was unforgettable. Seeing wildlife like the Gelada baboons in their natural environment made the trip even more exciting.

Landscapes ones of the most impressives I could ever see. I was told being lucky animals wise as I saw all of them. On the 3rd day morning, shortly after starting Buahit asscention, Ethiopian wolf crossed our path . Most difficult to see. But beside walking itself, the strongest memory will be the sunset of 2nd day when I could observe monkeys family (ca 30 of them). All ages, how they care about themselves, play, get food,… And this was possible because of amazing guide, born in a village we could see from the path. He is a genuine passionate of plants and animals of the national park and has a huge knowledge. You can contact him at +251924506117 . Btw, All the team was dooing very well. They genuinely care about their guest from the 1st to last moment of the trip.

We took the 3-day, 2-night trip to Imet Gogo with Danakil Depresion Tours. In short, we were very satisfied – especially compared to other providers. They combined groups or cut costs by using inferior equipment. We felt like we were in really good hands with Danakil Depression Tours. Our driver, Haile, was great, as was our guide,Gashaw. Both spoke excellent English. Gashaw was able to explain everything about the Simien Mountains to us and accommodated our hiking pace. The little extras surprised us. For example, the hot water bottle worked wonders in the nighttime temperatures around zero degrees. The chef and his assistant were available around the clock and accommodated our every need. We would book with Danakil DepressionTours again anytime.

The Simien Mountains must be one of the World's best kept secrets, the views are absolutely stunning. 1000 metre cliffs, 500 metre waterfall with wildlife and much more. A lot of the time you are above 3200 metres and it is possible to hike to over 4400 metres. Mickey the owner of Danakil Depression Tours organised this trip for me and it was brilliant. Unlike some tour operators Mickey employs some of his own people in the different areas where his company runs trips. This means he has a level of control over the tours that he runs which is not something not all operators have. This also means there is a degree of flexibility that can respond to the situation. For example in some parts of Ethiopia the FCDO recommends against travelling, but I travelled from Bahis Dar - Gonder - Simien Mountains and did not see any signs of conflict and I was not troubled by the military or FANO checkpoints, so yes I travelled against FCDO advice but I'm happy I did. Zemen my guide in the mountains, in discussions with me, adapted the planned activities to take account of my capabilities and wishes, and I did everything I wanted to safely and without concerns. Our cook (employed by Mickey) was a great guy and prepared delicious, nutritious and plentiful food. In summary a great trip to a part of Ethiopia which is sadly neglected by many tourists. So big thanks to Mickey and his team.

The 3 day Simien Mountains Tour was great. Unfortunately I ended up being the only one on the tour as two other people cancelled. However, the guide spoke good English and we ended up having some good conversations. I was well looked after and fed by the team of 6. We saw a variety of wildlife, including 5 Red Wolves and lots of Gelada monkeys. Mickey came to my hotel in Addis and gave me what I felt was honest information on the current security situation in Amhara province. This enabled me to make an informed decision and go on the tour. Everything, was organized from Addis, flights to/from Gonder, pickup, vehicle, gear, tents, food and all ran smoothly I would recommend Mickey and Danakil Depression Tours.

A trip from God's own country to the Heaven on earth Simien Mountains, this was a dream come true for me and my family. From the day we contacted Danakil Depression Tours to the day before our travel, all details were promptly communicated and handled by Mr.Mickey. Our tour manager Mr Danilo was exceptional in managing the trip schedules, which at times had some slippages mainly due to unexpected weather conditions. He was more of a good travel companion and friend than being a guide. Though it was a group tour, the itinerary was well planned that we had enough time for our personal activities as well. We truly had our most memorable vacation so far and will surely go on more tours with Danakil Dpression Tours.
