5.00My son Alex and I joined Maereg for a tour of the Simien mountains and the Danakil Depression in January 2025 and we were thrilled with our adventure. Maereg was extremely knowledgeable, attentive and detail oriented, yet at the same time, gave us the space to enjoy our experience together. We strongly recommend Extraordinary Ethiopia Tours and will be back!! Thank you Maereg xx
Breathtaking nature and nurturing atmosphere
