We had an amazing 3-day trip to Arba Minch, Dorze Village, and Konso with our guide Thomas and our excellent driver Ashu. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the experience was one of the highlights of our time in Ethiopia. Thomas was very knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to explain the culture and history of the places we visited. We especially loved visiting the Dorze Village and learning about the local traditions and unique houses. Konso was also fascinating, with beautiful landscapes and interesting cultural experiences. A special thanks to our driver Ashu, who was not only professional and safe on the long drives but also very kind, patient, and always smiling. The roads can be challenging in some areas, but we always felt comfortable and secure with him driving. The boat trip in Arba Minch was another unforgettable part of the tour, where we saw crocodiles, hippos, and beautiful scenery on Lake Chamo. Overall, this trip was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting southern Ethiopia. Thank you Thomas and Ashu for making our journey so memorable!

We had an amazing 3-day trip to Konso and Arba Minch as a group of six, and everything exceeded our expectations. The organization by Danakil Depression Tours was smooth and professional from start to finish, making the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. A special thanks goes to our guide, Kiya, who truly made this journey unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and always attentive to our needs. His deep understanding of the local culture, especially in Konso, gave us meaningful insights that we wouldn’t have experienced on our own. He also made sure we were comfortable at all times and handled every detail with care. The landscapes around Arba Minch were stunning, and the boat trip on Lake Chamo was a highlight for all of us. Seeing wildlife up close and enjoying the beautiful scenery was simply incredible. Visiting the Konso villages and learning about their unique traditions was another unforgettable part of the trip. Overall, we highly recommend Danakil Depression Tours for anyone looking for a well-organized, authentic, and memorable experience in Ethiopia. Traveling with Kiya made all the difference — we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

We did the 3-day Arba Minch and Konso tour with a group of friends, and it was a really fun experience. The boat trip on Lake Chamo, seeing crocodiles and hippos, and visiting Konso villages were all highlights. It was a good balance between adventure and cultural experiences.

We were family of 6 Adults plus 2 kids and had booked our Arba Minch and Konso trip. After reading many reviews and talking to various tours we decided to go with Glamour Tours. Ms. Glamour ours has been very professional and friendly right from the trip planning till the last day of the trip. all the subsequent arrangements including the hotel and transport were perfectly done. They had also upgraded our tempo traveller from normal one to executive (1+1) seater free of cost. Driver was also good and well verse with the routes and guided us appropriately. Few points for providing 6 star service - Glamour tours can provide timewise itinerary for each day so that we can cover all the places including the start and end time. We had to miss few places as we had to depend on drivers guidance which was not right at times. We thank Ms. Rodas for all her support and will definitely plan our next trip with Glamour tours :)

I had made the booking in mid-September I felt very Happy and Danakil Depression Tours thanked for make my journey very special. They provided me very good hotel services, bus services, and pickup drop and taxi services and the food of the hotel was very good and they were very cooperative and their nature and behaviour were all very good and we had made the booking online but they provided very good facilities and took time. They kept on updating whether you are facing any problem or not and I felt very good. Specially thanks Yigzaw he gave me trust and made my journey very beautiful and I really liked the way he talked to me and ensuring trust with me. I have not seen such a thing in any other travel agency. Thanks to Danakil Depression Tours
