Adventures in the Horn of Africa

A glance at a map of Djibouti shows you it’s the prime gateway to places like the Afar Triangle and the Gulf of Tadjourah. Its unique landscapes and coastline, which borders the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, offer an abundance of land-based and marine adventures.

Lake Abbé

Take a 4x4 trip to Lake Abbé in the Afar Depression and experience something truly unique. This area has tall, “smoking” limestone chimneys that transform the land into a lunar-like landscape. Some are as tall as 160 feet!

Lake Assal

This lake, which also sits in the Afar Triangle, is more than 500 feet below sea level, making it the lowest point on the African continent. Glaringly white, it’s a massive salt flat in the middle of slumbering volcanoes. Walking on the salt crust or floating in the intensely salty water is quite an experience.

Goda Mountains and Day Forest National Park

Travel to the Tadjourah region to hike in the Day Forest National Park, which lies within the Goda Mountain Range. Opposed to the arid plains of the Afar Triangle, this high-altitude forest is home to rare plants and animals. Hiking trails like the Bankoualé Waterfall offer scenic views.

Abourma Rock Art in Randa

Visit this location to view 7,000-year-old rock art! It’s remote, and you’ll have to book your spot on a 4x4 to get there.

Marine Life

Get up close and personal with astonishing marine life. The best Djibouti weather for snorkeling and scuba diving is from November to February.

Snorkel or dive in the Ghoubbet al Kharab with young whale sharks. A boat trip from Djibouti City takes you to this site. It’s an unforgettable experience!

Scuba divers can visit the Seven Brothers, a group of volcanic islands. Here, you can dive undisturbed coral reefs, barracudas, sharks, and manta rays.
