The overall trip was a great experience. The tour operator Tsehaynew, although he was not at tge trip, he well organized everything and was following up the group closely. He responded immediately to my text, questions, requests for info.
Tge lalibea tour guide, Wendy, he was unbelievable... he had knowledge of history and religion.
Addis, is not so interesting place. 2 days are enough. Danakil Depression is AMAZING place to visit.
National museum is closed due to renovation.

Amazing Ethiopian Adventure
I recently had the most incredible experience on a tour arranged by Mr. Tsehaynew (Essence Ethiopia tours ) from 31-Mar-2025 to 02-Apr-2025. The entire journey was seamless, exciting, and deeply enriching. Our itinerary included some of the most extraordinary destinations on the planet—Ethiopia's hot springs, the Erta Ale volcano, and the Danakil Depression—each of which offered a unique adventure.
First, the hot water springs were a perfect blend of relaxation and wonder. Nestled in a remote area, the springs offered a peaceful escape, with natural pools surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. The warm, mineral-rich waters were incredibly soothing, and the tranquility of the location made it feel like a hidden gem.
The Erta Ale volcano was a true highlight. The active lava lake was mesmerizing, and our guide provided excellent insight into the volcanic activity and the region's geology. The hike to the summit was challenging but rewarding, and witnessing the raw power of the volcano in person was something I will never forget.
Finally, the Danakil Depression was like stepping onto another planet. The landscape is otherworldly, with vast salt flats, vibrant mineral deposits, and incredible geothermal activity. It was truly humbling to see one of the hottest and most hostile places on Earth up close. The guide’s expertise was invaluable, providing us with the context and history of the region.
What truly stood out, though, was the attention to detail and exceptional service provided by “Mr. Tsehaynew”. The entire trip was carefully organized, from transportation to accommodations and every logistical detail in between. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the places we visited. Safety and comfort were always prioritized, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I recommend Mr. Tsehaynew (Essence Ethiopia tours). They exceeded all expectations and created a memorable experience that I’ll cherish for years to come. Thank you for an unforgettable journey!

Recommend!
I booked a tour to Danakill, it was good and interesting, one of the best attractions in Africa. Thanks Tsehaynew and team! In Essence tour you can also book transfers and accomodations, and it will be even cheaper if you will do it together 😁
