12 Days Northern Ethiopia Tour

12 Days Exploring Northern Ethiopia – A Great Group Experience

Our group of 10 people spent 12 days traveling through northern Ethiopia with Danakil Depression Tours, visiting Bahir Dar and Lake Tana, the Blue Nile Falls, Gondar, the Simien Mountains, Lalibela, the rock-hewn churches of Tigray, and finally the Danakil Depression. Traveling as a group of 10 for 12 days is not always easy, especially with the amount of driving and different places we wanted to visit, but everything was well organized and the trip went very smoothly overall. We really enjoyed Bahir Dar and Lake Tana, especially visiting the monasteries and seeing the scenery around the lake. The Blue Nile Falls were another nice experience. In Gondar, we explored the historic sites and learned more about the history of the Ethiopian emperors. The Simien Mountains were one of the highlights for many of us. The landscapes were spectacular, and seeing the gelada baboons was a memorable part of the visit. Lalibela was another unforgettable stop. Seeing the rock-hewn churches in person was amazing, and our guide gave us plenty of information about their history and religious importance. We also really enjoyed Tigray. The ancient churches, remote locations, and dramatic mountain scenery made this part of the trip feel like a real adventure. Some of the journeys were long, but the places we reached were worth the effort. The final part of our journey was the Danakil Depression. It was completely different from everything else we had seen during the trip. The extreme heat was challenging, but the salt landscapes, Lake Assale, Dallol area, and volcanic scenery made it a very unique experience. A special mention has to go to Mickey, the owner of Danakil Depression Tours. He was involved with our group from the beginning of the planning until the end of the 12 days. With 10 people traveling together, there were naturally many questions and things to coordinate, but Mickey was always available and reliable. Knowing that we could contact him whenever something came up gave us a lot of peace of mind. The guides, drivers, and the rest of the Danakil Depression Tours team were also excellent. They were friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the trip and worked hard to make sure our group was comfortable. After 12 days together, we came away with a lot of great memories and many photos. Ethiopia has an incredible variety of landscapes, history, and culture, and this trip allowed us to experience a little bit of everything. Thank you to Mickey and the entire Danakil Depression Tours team for taking care of our group of 10 from beginning to end. It was a long journey, but a very memorable one, and we are glad we chose this company for our Ethiopia trip. 🇪🇹❤️

Our family booked the 2 Day Lalibela Tour with Danakil Depression Tours, and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of our trip to Ethiopia.

Amazing Experience with East Africa Tours!

I had an incredible time touring Addis Ababa, Danakil Depression, and Erta Ale with East Africa Tours. Everything was perfectly organized – from city sights and cultural icons in Addis to the surreal landscapes of Danakil and the unforgettable night hike onto the glowing lava lake at Erta Ale. The team was super professional, knowledgeable, and took great care of us throughout. Despite the remote and challenging locations, logistics, safety, and comfort were all handled flawlessly. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the real Ethiopia with a reliable and experienced local operator.
