Q & A
What would you have changed?
If I were to rewind, I would've only booked a 2 day tour, but I still enjoyed my time visiting the volcano.
How was the food?
The food was basic on the tour.
What tips would you give a friend?
Download some podcasts since the drives are quite long.
Packing tips?
Pack sturdy shoes that you don't care about because the terrain is rouge and sharp in Dallol.
Any surprises?
The volcano was underwhelming
Lodging
Camping
The second night of the tour, I was lucky and got to stay in a hotel. Abala is a small town and the guides picked out a hotel that still had space. I can't remember the name, but it felt like a luxury compared to the previous night of camping outside the volcano.
