Tours in Dallol

There are just three words which spring do mind when thinking about Afar Danakil Depression Tours, Dallol where colors seem to burst forth from the ground & you get to walk on earth the color of rust among chimneys spouting out acrid fumes of sulfur, Erta Ale the sloshing lave pool is located with a base diameter of 30 km and a 1 km square caldera at its summit and the salt caravan trail of Berahile.


 

 

Dallol is one of the hottest, most inhospitable places on Earth much of this vast and practically unpopulated region lies below sea level, dipping to a frazzled nadir of -116m at Dallol, near Lake Asale, the lowest spot of terra firma on the African continent. One of the driest and most tectonically active areas on the planet, the Danakil is an area of singular geological fascination: a strange lunar landscape studded with active volcanoes, malodorous sulphur –caked hot springs, solidified black lava flows and vast salt-encrusted basins.

Dallol is the main attraction of this area –indeed , a highlight of any Danakil adventure – is a surreal multi-hued field of sulphurous hot springs studded with steaming conical vents , strange ripple- like rock formations , and sprinkled with a rather adhesive, coarse orange deposit that looks something like dyed icing sugar.

Dallol Tour is where you get to walk on earth the color of rust among chimneys spouting out acrid fumes of sulphur which requires attentions as not to step on pools of boiling waters with the smell of sulfur everywhere. An excursion into this harsh and astounding world isn’t something everyone can handle. It is, however, something nobody will ever forget. It’s best visited between December and February when it’s at its coolest and it isn’t something everyone can handle it, however, something nobody will ever forget.  The best time to visit is between December and February when it’s at its coolest.
