Danakil Depression

It’s not part of the classic northern route instead, thrill-seeking travellers tack it on at the start or finish of their Ethiopian journey.

Your gateway? The Tigrayan city of Mekelle board a domestic flight from Addis, land in Mekelle, then buckle up for the 4×4 excursion into the weird, raw beauty of the Danakil.
