Unique Birthday Celebration in the Danakil Depression - I just wanted to take a moment to thank Enat Tour for another amazing experience! This was my second trip with them, the first being a 5-day Omo Valley tour and now a 3-day group tour to the Danakil Depression. As someone living in Addis Ababa, it's always a pleasure to work with such a top-notch company. The services, as always, were outstanding. The guides and drivers during the Danakil Depression tour were simply brilliant, knowledgeable, friendly, and truly made the experience special. The cook was exceptional, making sure we had great meals even in the most challenging conditions. A special highlight for me was celebrating my birthday at the salt lake, which was absolutely phenomenal. It’s a memory I’ll never forget! The birthday party organized by Ashu and the team in such a unique location at one of the hottest places on Earth was truly one of the best celebrations I’ve ever had. Danakil Depression is a place like no other, and while the heat, wind, and sleeping under the stars can be challenging, the magical landscapes and unforgettable adventures make it all worth it. If you're planning to go, be prepared for a hilarious adventure—it's truly an experience that stays with you. We’re already considering coming back when our friends visit, and I can’t wait to experience it again. Thanks again, Ashu, and to the entire team for making this trip unforgettable. You guys are the best!

Danakil Depression - Ashu, thank you so much for organizing another incredible trip! This is my second time traveling with you,having done the Omo Valley before, and now the Danakil Depression and, once again, your services were exceptional and dependable. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire team who made the Danakil trip so memorable. The landscapes and adventures in Dallol were truly awe-inspiring, and witnessing the salt lake with its stunning sunrises and sunsets was magnificent. A special mention goes to my driver, Daniel, who was not only skilled but also very friendly, making the journey all the more enjoyable. Ashu, I really appreciate how quickly you responded to my questions both before and during the trip. Your support and positive attitude were incredibly reassuring, and you’re such a humble and kind person. I’m so glad I chose Enat Tours for this unforgettable experience, and I look forward to the next adventure. Thank you once again, Ashu, and the entire team at Enat Tours. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the wonders of Ethiopia!

Amazing Tour. 5 out of 5 - I’ve taken advantages of tour agencies all over the planet - this tour and its owner/guide, Ashu, is next level. Ashu goes out of his way to make sure that all members of the tour have a 100% amazing, unforgettable time. Going to Danakil is not an easy tasks, and things come up when tours are traversing the isolated desert. Every single time we hit a curveball during the trip Ashu solved the problem within minutes and the trip continued flawlessly. I can’t say enough about Ashu and Entat Tours - they are absolutely amazing in their dedication to their guests.
