Africa

Welcome to Ethiopia, a land like nowhere else that you will never forget. Ethiopia isn’t a country that can be described; it has to be experienced. Every traveller has their own perception by discovering historical sites, and by following in the footsteps of the Queen of Sheba and the Emperor Haile Selassie. This land has a lot to offer in the diversity of its landscapes and animals from North to South and from East to West. The kindness and the openness of the Ethiopian people will make you feel at home and enrich your life.

This trek requires two days bivouac in the desert and good physical condition. After a day in a 4x4, we stop in the nomadic camp of Afar. With just a few Arabic words I was able to chat a little over tea with the families there.
Going up the Erta Ale volcano is exhausting. But so rewarding! You go right up to the edge of the crater to see and hear the broiling sea of molten lava, I had the feeling the earth was a living thing. You never tire of seeing the enormous bubbles of molten lava exploding. Be careful of the toxic sulphur fumes! Then I slept under the stars at the foot of the crater with my group, before returning to watch the lava at dawn and looking out over the desert.
