Driver Semera to Danakil and Visit Danakil Depression

At Semera, you’ll meet the rest of your tour group and pile into the Toyota Land cruisers that will take you into the Danakil in convoy.
As you drive further towards the Afar region, the roads get rougher until you reach the Danakil Depression. Here, the roads are a maze of solidified lava, rock and sand with an occasional palm lined oasis.
Drive towards the small hamlet of Hamed Ela via Berhale. The Danakil Depression is said to ‘begin’ here. En route, you’ll likely see long camel caravans going in and out of the Danakil as they are loaded with salt, the main export of this region.

Visit Dalol and Drive Back to Semera

After breakfast at Hamed Ela, you’ll drive to Ragad (Asebo) and watch the local Afar people mining the salt from the ground and loading on to the camel caravans.
Drive to Dallol, one of the most stunning geological phenomena on the planet. The kaleidoscopic landscape of greens, reds, and yellows formed by acidic springs and salt mounds create an alien landscape.
Visit Lake Asale, one of the two hyper-saline lakes of the Danakil Depression and one of the most visually striking lakes anywhere in the world. The sun set over Lake Asale is extraordinary.

Begin the drive back to Semra to line up with a return flight to Addis Ababa or continue your onwards journey with us.
