Explore the Danakil from the Afar capital Semera (590km from Addis Ababa) with the Ethiopian Airlines Daily flight. The Danakil is a genuine expedition destination. Although a good 350km road now runs from Semera to Mekele via Afdera, the tracks to Dallol and Do Dom (for Erta Ale) require 4×4 and navigational skills. The region is best visited with an experienced operator using a minimum of two 4x4s, and experienced staff who know the local Afar. Helicopter access is from Mekele. Currently, we offer tours directly out of Semera. The minimum time required for a full tour is two nights, spending one at Hamed Ela and one on the rim of Erta Ale. An extra night at Erta Ale is recommended if you want to see the crater by day, and another for Lake Afdera.

    We booked 3 day tour to Danakil depression from Semera and it was really amazing! Tour was very well organized, whole team was great and the scenery is incredible! You have to go a little out of your comfort zone and that makes it even more special :) ... All the guys are helpfull, kind, reliable and really good company, all the best! They made our days very special and added something extra to the whole experience (special thanks to our guide Solomon and driver Awet)!
