Danakil Depression

Danakil Depression

Your private expedition into Ethiopia’s volcanic desert
ENQUIRE NOW $6624
4 4 4 4 4 4

All tours customizable to your needs! We can also organize add-on trips for you anywhere in Africa.

This trip is only for the hardy; four nights of desert camping, searing temperatures and climbing the face of a volcano to peer into hell. That about sums it up, but you’ll never forget it. There is something soothing to a desolate landscape and the camaraderie that unfolds on a trip like this is why we take them. The Afari people who live in this region are very interesting, and their small towns are a good place to look for something cold.
