Danakil Depression
A geological depression caused by the continental drift of three tectonic plates, the Danakil Depression is one of Earth’s most unusual environments.

Overall a good experience
That’s overall a good experience, the landscapes are indeed incredibly beautiful, the company is honest and correct, the meals are very simple but I think it’s fair for such remote area where resources for something more elaborated are inpossible, the guide Yonas is an excellent professional: intelligent, helpful, always friendly and respectful, he clearly loves his job! However, sleeping open air close to the volcano is extremely unpleasant and uncomfortable, the night there is very windy and cold and me and many other tourists felt bad and barely could sleep, it should be fixed. Furthermore, the driver was the opposite of the guide: unfriendly and careless regarding our luggages, mine had a damage. Apart from the mentioned minor inconveniences, I recommend this company.

Perfect organisation
We made a personalised tour of Ethiopia together with Abraham: we told him the imprescindibile highlights we wanted to see and how many days we had in total and he organised a tour perfectly fitting for our needs. We had a different, passionate local guide in every place we went. Particularly impressive our 3 days in Danakil and the market and mass experiences in Lalibela.

this will change your life
This was the best trip of my life! I am very grateful to the team and our guide Fish for such an experience. This is something that everyone should go through to rethink their lives. The conditions were extreme, but the team did everything to make us as comfortable as possible. We were fed very tasty, at night we slept like babies on clean bed linen. We were in places of crazy beauty!!! Dallol will forever remain in my heart. We will remember this trip for the rest of our lives! Thank you!
