Ethiopia - Trip into the Danakil Depression
The Danakil Depression is called the cradle of hominids after the famous Lucy Australopithecus fossil was found in 1974. It is hottest and lowest places on earth and dry for most of the year.
We made a four-day trip from Mekele into the area. In the two days we spent driving we covered less than two hundred kilometers.
The highlights of the trip (Ertale open volcano, volcanic fields, salt mining) are covered in separate video clips. This clip gives an impression of the roads, the Afar people living in the area, the caravans between Mekele and the area and the facilitiesfor tourists.

Mekele to Erta Ale | Ethiopia Vlog 7
We started the journey to Erta Ale Volcano from Mekele on 7th June 2019. We stopped at Abala to get some permit and then we stopped at a small village for lunch. As we approached the volcano, we could see plenty of volcanic rocks. The roads deteriorated. By evening 6 pm we reached the base camp of the volcano.

Ethiopia - A trip to the Danakil Desert
Our trip to Danakil Desert in March 2019 proved to be a worth destination though we cancelled the last stop of our trip, a visit of the Erta Ale. Shortly before we were heading for that spectecular adventure a swiss group had told us we would probably be disappointed due to the lot of smoke around the crater lake making it impossible to get the expected pictures.
So we can only recommend to gather absolutely reliable information about the current situation at the volcano before you are planning to visit the place.
I added some fantastic Erta Ale footage of Philippe Loriot (aventurevolcans.com) who shot some spectacular scenes of the lava lake in January 2018. Thanks to Philippe and Ephrem Amare for the very beautiful music!

Ethiopia Travel - Danakil Depression & Tigray
This Wild Frontiers adventure tour takes us from the unforgiving Danakil Depression, one of the lowest, hottest places on earth, to the mountains of Tigray. A journey of contrasts, the trip starts with a visit to Bati and its renowned market, a cultural crossroads between the Oromo, Amhara and Afar nomads. From here we drop down into the Danakil Depression. Exploring the Danakil takes us to the shores of Lake Afrera, the alien landscapes of Dallol, and a trek to the top of the active volcano -- Erta Ale. From about 120m below sea level, we then follow the route of the Salt Caravans, climbing the mountains that rise steeply from the Rift Valley into Tigray. After some time to relax a little and wash of the salt and sand, we then undertake an incredibly rewarding village walk, spending 3 nights with local communities in conjunction with the charity TESFA (Tourism in Ethiopia for Sustainable Future Alternatives). The trekking is through beautiful mountain scenery, with visits to rarely visited rock churches and a level of interaction with the local communities that is hard to match anywhere else in the country.

#Danakil Depression #Ethiopia Rock Formations at #Dallol
The Danakil Depression is the hottest, harshest, and one of the lowest and most inhospitable places on earth. Due to geological upheavals at this location in the Rift Valley of Ethiopia called the Afar Triangle, there are unusual rock formations, including areas with various gasses (potassium, iron, sulfur) with steam vents that form multi-colored rock formations that look like coral reefs, but above the water

Ethiopia's Danakil Depression : Salt bar 'Amole' preparation at Dallol Plains
Hamedila is a small settlement in the Danakil Depression, home to salt diggers in Dallol salt plains. A daily activity from 5:30AM to 6:30PM, these salt workers walk a distance of 6kms one way to the site where they get to dig out salt rocks, cut them down into crude bars, then finally shaping each bar into a smooth standard size. Same is loaded up on to camels which head out around 5PM daily as caravans to the highlands West of Hamedila. The caravan arriving mid-day next day at Berahile, the salt bar load is taxed and put up on the market in Berahile and further loaded on to trucks heading to Mekele. What is to be noted and appreciated here is the fact that these workers - comprising of the local Afars and neighbouring Wollos and Tigreans - work on a daily basis at an altitude of -116 meters below sea level and at a temperature of 35-47 degree centigrade!!!
