Приглашается один человек ( желательно мужского пола ) на поездку с 6 января на север Эфиопии в пустыню и на вулкан - программа ниже со всеми подробностями. Лететь значит надо 3 или 4 января - обратно кто когда захочет, и потом ещё можно сделать продолжение по северу или в долину Омо
Поездку организует эфиопская турконтора, уже собрана интеркоманда из 11 человек на три джипа ( нас тоже уже набралось четверо русских на одну машину ), нужен 12-й в джип с иностранцами. Стоит это дело около 1 200 долларов на чела + перелет Турками 20 тыщ рублей с копейками, и прочее... что не входит в программу. Эфиопы просят предоплату 25 % на следущей неделе - так что раздумывать особо некогда. С предоплатой будет всё в порядке - контора солидная и проверенная. И самое главное что это трудная и тяжелая поездка в самое жаркое место в Африке с ночевками на природе - так что будет "весело" Да, джипы обещают новые с кондиционерами и большой запас воды и пищи, и охрану на всю поездку.
Приветствуется бывалый человек небоящийся черной Африки и мечтающий увидеть чудеснейшие и интереснейшие места
Danakil depression is a sink in northern Ethiopia and southwestern Eritrea. It contains 25% of Africa’s active volcanoes and houses the continents’ lowest point, 120m below sea level. The seismic activity makes Danakil depression to a completely unique experience with mineral rock and lava lakes .Dallol, where the sulphur hill gaudy colors turns to dazzle the eyes of all who visit the salt mine and sulphur lake as violent gas shoot out in all sorts of colors and directions, and the mountain known as the red mountain. The other unique one is that contains all the previous and the active volcanoes of Erta Ale, which housed a permanent lava lake since 1967.

Excellent preparation ,highly competent professional and friendly staff, close interactions with local people , delicious food prepared by our dedicated cook will more than compensate for the hardness and sometimes spartanic character of living conditions we will find ourselves in.
