An unforgettable and transformative experience, made exceptional by breathtaking landscapes and the deep - unique !

Inimaginable landscapes throughout the tour combined with the best guide and team ever. A strong sense of connexion with nature, the unique one of the Danakil depression. Non stop changing landscapes and geological phenomena. A strong experience of the Afar people and their environment. Our guide made the experience unforgettable with his knowledge and sense of human contact. I strongly recommend the tour, and I'll dzfinitely get in touche with Arho Tour for future discoveries in Ethiopia.

AMAZING tour I loved it!!! It's perfect for people who like adventure. Keep in mind that you won't have access to running water, electricity, and toilets at the overnight camps. I didn't mind but it caught some people off guard.

Zero (0) Stars... After booking this tour and receiving confirmation from Viator, I was left stranded at the airport on my scheduled tour date. Find another option if you're looking to get to the Danakil Depression.

It was amazing ,a must see place And our tour guys are excellent they full fill what they promised Anwar the master and our driver Addis thanks all It worth it

This is the best and most amazing trip by far. Visiting the Danakil Depression has so much to it. Sunset by the endless salt flats, Sunrise at the beautiful Dallol, up close and personal experience with the active volcano at Erta Ale, swim at Lake Afdera, a bath in a hot spring, sleep under the sky and so on. But for this trip to happen and be more interesting Arho Tour( Team Danakil) takes the Lion’s share. Anwar the Team Leader( our guide ) is a walking encyclopedia on the field and a gem for the team. Our driver Daniel is knowledgeable and well-experienced and made the long and rough roads smooth and enjoyable. The whole team is well-organized, knowledgeable, and very experienced. They deserve hundred stars. We were well-fed with delicious foods and kept hydrated at all times. My warmest gratitude goes to Anwar, Daniel, Addis, Frezer, Awot, the Chef, and the local community.

I went with these guys to Danakil in October, and it was amazing. Anwar, Frezer and Addis are really great guys; relaxed, kind, and very skilled and highly knowledgeable tour guides and drivers. The landscapes are otherworldly, miles upon miles of basalt, volcanos, salt flats, sulphuric areas. It’s a sunrise-centric trip: get ready to wake up early to see the sun over these incredible landscapes and avoid the heat. You swim, sleep under the stars, and are well-watered and fed throughout. And it’s no problem coming solo and joining a group — this is what I did and it was super nice.

Visiting the Afar Region, including Dallol and Erta Ale, was like stepping into another world. It was the most incredible trip I’ve ever been on, filled with unforgettable experiences and amazing people who made it even more special. In the Erta Ale region, I met a guy named Bush, who was just like a movie character. He gave me his stick, which I carried all the way back to the UK as a reminder of this incredible adventure. It’s not just a stick; it holds the memories of the lava lake, the heat, and the raw power of nature that surrounded us. Two people who made the journey even better were Anwar, our guide, and Rasta, our driver. They are the best duo you could ask for. Anwar’s knowledge and passion for the region were unmatched, and Rasta’s driving skills made even the toughest roads seem smooth. Their energy and humor brought so much life to the trip and made every moment unforgettable. Dallol was beyond words. Watching the sunrise there was magical; the colors of the landscape were so vivid and unreal, it felt like being on another planet. Walking through the unique formations and salt flats was like exploring a dream. Erta Ale was equally breathtaking. Standing so close to the active lava lake, feeling the heat and seeing the lava bubbling and glowing, was one of the most awe-inspiring experiences of my life. It’s hard to describe how powerful and humbling it felt to be that close to the heart of the Earth. The Afar Region, with its stunning landscapes and incredible people, gave me memories I will cherish forever. It truly was the trip of a lifetime.

I joined the tour - my guide and driver was Addisu Maregu. He made a huge difference to my experience as I am a slow walker - he was patient and helped me along. The drives are long and some roads are smooth whilst many are bumpy. Addis was a very good driver and experienced based on how will he knows the roads n timing so we make it just in time for sunrise n sunset The food by their in-house cook is clean n nice. Given the rawness of the travel, I felt safe

Fantastic experience. Our guide and driver were good company and competent. knew a lot about the areas we visited and the locals. We were very safe throughout the tour. Unique nature experience.
