3-Day Danakil Depression & Erta Ale Volcano Expedition (

Depart from Semera and journey across the rugged desert terrain toward the Danakil Depression. Arrive at Dodom base camp by late afternoon, enjoy an early dinner, and prepare for the night trek up to the summit of Erta Ale. Hike under the stars to the edge of the active shield volcano and spend the night gazing down into the mesmerizing, bubbling lava lake of one of Earth's most extreme environments.

Witness a breathtaking sunrise over the volcanic crater before descending Erta Ale back to base camp for breakfast. Drive across vast desert landscapes to the nomadic village of Hamed Ela. Spend your afternoon visiting the stunning Lake Assal salt flats to watch the sunset reflect off shimmering salt polygons and observe traditional Afar salt miners working alongside their long camel caravans.

Venture into the surreal, multi-colored landscape of Dallol, one of the lowest and hottest places on Earth. Explore the alien-like hydrothermal sulfur springs, acid pools, salt canyons, and unique mineral formations that paint the ground in brilliant yellows, greens, and oranges. Conclude your extraordinary expedition with a scenic drive back to Semera for your drop-off.
