Danakil Depression 4 days Tour

Unforgettable memories

The four-days Danakil Depression tour was an exceptional experience and one of the best of our trip to Ethiopia. The unique landscapes, salt flats, colorful formations of Dallol, and the incredible Erta Ale volcano made the journey truly unforgettable. The entire tour was well organized, and the team was professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the trip. Our guides were knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable and informed at every stage. The transportation, meals, and camping arrangements were also handled very well, especially considering the remote and challenging environment.

3 Days Danakil Depression Tour

Memorable Trip

both places were unique in many respects: incredible landscapes, scorching hot sun and powerfully charismatic local inhabitants. The organization of our tour by Mickey Leake and his team went very smooth. They took good care of us: the transport, food, guidance and lodging were all perfectly arranged. I am a professional photographer and traveled with a friend/colleague photographer to make landscape mages of both places. The team was very patient with us and gave us all the time and space needed to set up the large format camera and work in peace. I am overall very satisfied with the kindness of our team (a cook, two drivers, a guide and Mickey), with the relevant historical and cultural information we received from our guide Fishai and with the well organized transportation in this enchanted land. The vulcano is a wild and fierce place so take good walking shoes and something to cover your mouth and nose from the dust. We climbed the mountain at night, so a good lamp is also useful. Two camels brought our cameras and food/water to the top of the mountain. At Erta Ale and at Dallol we teamed up with local Afar guides and police officers to guard us during our visit to the wilderness. July is a hot period to visit, not the easiest conditions maybe, but still possible. We woke up at 5 in the morning and worked until 10 in the morning. After that it was too hot to really do anything in the Danakil. But inside the air-conditioned car it was fine. Amazingly, there are people working on the salt plains in temperatures above 50 degrees Celcius. What a sight to see!
