About this Tour:<\/h4>\n

An adventure expedition to some of the most surreal landscapes in the world. We start off in the Ethiopian highlands before going\u00a0for several days into the desert. Incredible highlights lie ahead of us, such as the ascent of Erta Ale volcano with overnight camping at the rim of the crater, the surreal landscapes of Dallol, the salt mining at lake Afrera, lake Assal, the lowest point on the African Continent or the abstract lime stone chimneys around lake Abbe. After a few hot days in the desert, we recover at the pristine white sand beaches of the Gulf of Djibouti with a good chance to encounter whale sharks, which gather here every year between October and February. On our way back from Djibouti to Addis Ababa, we cross Eastern Ethiopia, where amongst other we will visit fascinating holy town of Harar or the Awash National Park.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
