Upon arrival at Semera Airport, you will be greeted by your guide and begin the drive to Ahmed Ela. As you travel, take in the stunning Afar landscapes characterized by solidified lava, expansive sand plains, and occasional palm-lined oases. After passing several small hamlets, visit Ahmed Ela village, home to over 500 residents, where you can observe the traditional lifestyle of the Afar community. Continue your journey to Lake Asale, a vast salt lake, where you can swim in a natural saltwater pool and enjoy the breathtaking sunset reflecting off the salt flats.
In the morning, drive to Ragad (Asebo) to witness the traditional salt-mining process, where miners cut salt blocks and load them onto camel caravans. Next, visit the Dallol Depression, known for its surreal volcanic formations, vibrant mineral deposits, and bubbling sulfur pools, located 125 meters below sea level. After lunch in Ahmed Ela, proceed to Erta Ale Volcano. This shield volcano, standing at 613 meters, is home to one of the world’s few permanent lava lakes, which has been active for over a century. In the evening, trek to the crater rim for an unforgettable view of the glowing lava lake.
After breakfast, drive to Lake Afdera, an important site for Ethiopia’s salt production. Here, lake water is pumped into salt pans for solar evaporation, resulting in expansive fields of crystalline salt. Following lunch, continue to Semera Airport for your flight back to Addis Ababa.
