Overview

Danakil Depression is one of the most extreme and otherworldly places on Earth. Located in the Afar region of Ethiopia, it is the lowest point on the continent and is home to a variety of geological wonders, including active volcanoes, salt lakes, and lava fields.

Besides, tours to the Danakil desert are not for the faint of heart. The conditions in the depression are extreme, with temperatures regularly reaching over 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) and the air being thick with dust and smoke. Visitors must be prepared for long journeys in 4×4 vehicles, camping in basic accommodations, and dealing with the harsh desert.
