About This Tour
The Afar, Erta Ale, and Dallol tour is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure through Ethiopia’s most extreme and otherworldly landscapes. This journey takes visitors deep into the Danakil Depression, one of the lowest, hottest, and most geologically active places on Earth. Travelers will witness the Erta Ale volcano, home to a rare, continuously active lava lake, where molten rock glows beneath the night sky. In Dallol, vibrant mineral formations, steaming geysers, and acid pools create an alien-like scenery found nowhere else. Visitors also experience the traditional Afar salt caravans, where camel traders extract and transport salt as they have for centuries. This unique tour offers thrilling adventure, breathtaking photography opportunities, and a rare glimpse into Ethiopia’s natural wonders and ancient cultures. Ideal for explorers, photographers, and geology enthusiasts, this unforgettable journey showcases the raw beauty of one of Earth’s last untouched frontiers.
