Overview

Experience one of the most geologically active and visually surreal places on Earth—the Danakil Depression, located in northeastern Ethiopia. This 3-day, 2-night tour takes you deep into the Afar region, where you’ll witness Erta Ale Volcano’s glowing lava lake, explore the technicolor Dallol sulfur fields, and relax in the hypersaline waters of Lake Afdera.
This all-inclusive adventure is perfect for thrill-seekers, photographers, and nature lovers who want to explore one of the hottest, driest, and lowest places on the planet. Your journey starts with a flight from Addis Ababa to Semera and is fully supported with 4x4 vehicles, local guides, security escorts, and full-board camping.
