Erta Ale
We start our day by driving to Erta Ale (which means smoky mountain in Afar language). Erta Ale ranks one of the most alluring and physically challenging natural attractions anywhere in Ethiopia. It is a shield volcano with a base diameter of 30 km and 1km square caldera at its summit. Erta Ale contains the world’s only permanent lava lake. It is 613 meters, with a lava lake, one of only five in the world, at the summit. It is notable for being the longest existing lava lake, present since the early years of the twentieth century. (may not be as active as before and activity at flank eruption slows down.) We start early 9:00 AM, drive to Dodom (at the base of Erta Ale). This is may be one of the roughest roads in the world. The 80 km distance may take about 6 hrs passing through changing the landscape of solidified lava, rock, sand and occasional palm-lined oasis.

Descend from Erta Ale around 9 am Dodom – Leave back to Dodom after an early breakfast, if possible at 07:00 o’clock. You will reach the latest at 10:30 o’clock at the camp, where you will be relaxing. As soon as possible, drive to reach the mythical Lake Giulietti (or Lake Afrera)(optional may not be available during summer time), a saltwater lake located more than100 meters below sea level, in one of the deepest depressions of the planet. Because of the picturesque landscape, it is interesting to visit the salt flats where the Afar people obtain the salt by evaporating the water of the lake., continue to Erbiti and proceed Abaala.

From start to finish, this was a truly beautiful and well-organized experience. The landscape itself is otherworldly, but what made the trip special was the professionalism and care provided by the team. Every detail was handled with expertise, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking views of Erta Ale and the vibrant colors of Dallol without any stress. The guides were knowledgeable, the logistics were smooth, and the hospitality was exceptional. It is rare to find a tour operator that balances adventure with such genuine care for their guests.

5.00Thanks to Asgedom I had an unforgetable 10-day trip to Ethiopia. Since the start, the communication via email and later Whatsapp was fast and clear. I reached out to several local agencies and Gelila convinced me with the best itinerary and value for money. My visit included: - Axum - The rocky churches of Tigray - Danakil depression and Ertale Volcano - Libella and - Addis Ababa. At every destination there was a guide and driver waiting for me at the airport. As a solo female travel I always felt safe. I am convinced that Asgedom only works with the best local guides and drivers available. During my trip, I learned a lot about the country, its history and had the chance to interact with the locals. The restaurants chosen and the "dinning" provided in the desert was of very good quality, you will always received water when needed. I highly recommend Gelila tours for you trip to Ethiopia.
Great experience with Gelila!
