Thank you everyone on this tour! - I spent an unforgettable 3 days in the desert. 2night-3day tour is enough to visit main spots including Dallol Volcano, Erta Ale Volcano, Salt lake, and local village. The driver and guide are so kind and I could take many picture on the way. Thank you everyone in this tour!

Fantastic Trip and Tour operations! - I was very fascinated by the tour I made in my life in the desert of Afar Danakil Depression. Gashaw was excellent in operation. They welcomed me at Semera and transferred me to the Hotel and we started the trip. We stayed 2 nights in the desert and everything was fabulous.

Active volcanoes after the difficult road! perfect tour package! - We did a 3-day 2-night Danakil with Ethio Backpacker Tours. The whole experience was exceptional and I recommend Gashaw and his company. We initially reached out to Gashaw via email as we had read the good reviews on different sites. He was very quick to respond with a proposed itinerary and we then connected via WhatsApp The trip to Erta Ale and Dallol was one of the toughest road trips I ever had. there were so many detailed things to do on the way and so many people to deal with. Ethio Backpacker Tours managed the journey flawlessly, nevertheless. Here is the contact Whatsapp +251-962636363 / [email protected]
