Rank : 10.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : 13.606904, 40.661705 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : You can photograph the desert and volcanoes of the Erta Ale chain, occasional caravan of camels, but the main attraction remains the lava lake that fills the crater of the volcano Erta Ale (or Irta'ale). A phenomenon that you would never detach. I would do it again once to live better despite the 720 meters of dilivello you face at night (starting from less than 100 to get more mlm mlm 613).

Recommended equipment : One 24/70 zoom is enough and do not forget the tripod (I have not brought !!!!)

Best months : From October to April

How to get there : Arrival in Addis Ababa and then by domestic flight to Mekele and then only on organized tours you can visit the place. All the Danakil can be visited only with tiristiche companies and always accompanied by the military for vicinaza the Eritrean border much more glowing volcano.

Visits : As I said the entrance is only for organized tours

Notes : The volcano is sleeping on mattresses of 5 cm in thickness and outdoor. Because this night rooms bring flashlights with new batteries or and full charging.
