7 Evening Experiences in Ethiopia to Build a Day Around

1.2-Night 3-Day Danakil Depression Tour without Flights

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 31 reviews · 3 days · from $300Our pick

3 days in Ethiopia’s Danakil Depression, from Erta Ale’s lava rim to Dallol and Lake Assal salt country, with camping and meals.

“Ontzettend gave ervaring! Helemaal waard! Gave dingen gezien! Hou er wel rekening mee dat het een intense ervaring is en dat je 3 dagen in de buitenlucht bent en geen wc of douche of bed hebt. Je moet een beetje fit zijn en langere stukken kunnen lopen. Verder spreken niet alle drivers goed Engels dus je moet soms je vragen bewaren voor de gids die Engels spreekt. Verder is de vulkaan een beetje ingestort dus je gaat geen lava zien.”
