About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Airlifter0 contributionsRecommended: A Great Day Trip from AddisA great day and an excuse to get out of Addis on a public holiday. This day trip is a must whether you're a history enthusiast or you simply enjoy sightseeing. Tour guide Haben and driver were welcoming and friendly with lots of information provided along the way. Lunch was a traditional Ethiopian cuisine and a local beer. The tour didn't feel rushed and lots of opportunities for walking around and taking photos. The only detracting issue -- and it's not the fault of the tour guides! -- is that the government doesn't appear to place a priority on maintaining or enhancing these historical sites so that they can be enjoyed and better appreciated by tourists and visitors.Written 1 October 2024

- addict4travel20 contributionsAwesome and easy service.

- Ursula M0 contributionsFantastic.I highly recommend the addis tourThe guide was very kind. The road to Entoto park was great. I tried the local dishes at the restaurant. It was amazing to walk inside the park, the fresh air and the good weather 🙂Written 22 August 2022
- Sheriff E0 contributionsCustomizable to your wishes.Delayed for more than an hour, probably as I booked a 9 am tour at 5 am same day. Seems operator did not notice the booking! They did not respond to my messages during this hour. I enjoyed most the views on mountain Entoto. The human history section in the national Ethiopian museum is worth visiting. Addis ababa is very culturally rich, but this operator can cater for this in half a day.Written 18 August 2022

The Danakil Depression, located in the northern segment of the Afar rift, is a world-class example of active rifting and the birth of a new ocean. The unique, yet only partially interpreted geothermal system of Dallol in northern Danakil is currently receiving renewed attention by researchers and visitors despite its extreme climate since the recent improvements of infrastructure.
