3 days and 2 nights on another planet - 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.

Wonderful experience, crazy landscapes and excellent tour guides and drivers - 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.

Welcome to another planet - 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.

A safe trip - 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

Best trip I’ve been on! - Best trip I have ever been on! Danakil is amazing and will leave you breathless. We were joined by the sweetest crew who took good care of us and were pleasant to spend time with. Especially our guide, Solayke, was great - knowledgeable, easy to talk to and friendly. Danakil is like no other place on earth and this was a very unique experience that I will never forget.

Unreal and breathtaking - The whole experience was amazing. The food was great, guides and drivers were very helpful, not to mention ensuring everybody is safe. Guys shared with us local customs and made the long rides fun and interesting. There was a bit of craziness, a bit of laugh and fun and all this experienced in 3 days…. I can only describe it as unreal, adventurous and breathtaking. All that in the best company of Arho tour guys!

Highly recommended - The entire trip is worth it. Get to know a very different part of Ethiopia. First to its inhabitants, the Afar, adapted to living in a region with the highest temperature on the planet. Enjoy bathing in its immense salt lakes. Being on an active volcano and being amazed by the colors of Dallol... The Arho Tour team has done it very well, everything is very very organized. They take care of their clients and make delicious and very elaborate meals. Without a doubt, it is a 100% recommended team.
