Deserts of
Africa
- Volcanoes concealed within the sands
- Acidic lakes and salt flats
- Vast dunes accessible only to a select few
The ground is
hotter than fire
The desert isn’t about emptiness, it’s about scale, rhythm, and the Earth’s very breath. Africa’s deserts are like three distinct masterpieces—stark, powerful, and hypnotically beautiful. In Kenya, you’ll find volcanic dunes and the somber poetry of the Suguta Valley. Ethiopia reveals the boiling Danakil Depression, where the land itself seems to burn and vanish into vapor. And in Namibia, landscapes are sculpted by wind and time, where dunes meet the ocean and astonishing creatures endure in between. These aren’t just places to observe; they are spaces to feel. Here, you can hear your own heartbeat and the whisper of the wind. And in that lies the profound beauty of the void.
Northern Kenya isn’t a desert of sand, but of structure and light. The Suguta Valley is one of the most remote and inaccessible places in the country. The only way to reach it is by helicopter, landing atop a dune’s crest. There are no roads, no trails—just endless sand dunes, petrified lava fields, salt flats, and craters. The landscape feels otherworldly, almost Martian in its silence. Amid this stark stillness, you might spot solitary flamingos, antelope, or vultures soaring above sheer cliffs. This isn’t just desert—it’s a meditative space where noise and time dissolve. Africa in its deepest, most primal form.
The Danakil Depression in Ethiopia is a realm of fire, salt, and surreal color. It’s one of the hottest places on Earth, where the ground literally steams. Here, you can witness acidic lakes in vivid yellows and emerald greens, sulfurous springs that evaporate at your feet, and landscapes that seem torn from science fiction. Temperatures soar to 50°C (122°F), and underfoot, salt crystals crunch like shattered glass. Yet life persists: nomadic people harvest salt, and at night, beneath the inky sky, the heat fades and you can hear only the Earth breathing. This place isn’t about comfort—it’s about experience. And it’s unforgettable.
Namibia is a land of sand, silence, and staggering beauty. The Namib Desert is one of the oldest on the planet, and its dunes form a living landscape, shifting with each gust of wind. Here, you’ll find translucent geckos, snakes, beetles, and spiders—each adapted to survive without water. In the regions of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei, the scenery turns cinematic: ochre dunes, bone-white pans, and the black skeletons of ancient trees. Morning is a spectacle of shadow and light. The tracks of night creatures vanish with the sun’s first rays. And in those quiet moments, it feels as though the desert is watching—and breathing with you.
To feel the heat of the desert winds, traverse endless dunes, and witness the desert come alive in the shimmering glow of sunset—that is the true magic of Africa.

We fell in love with Africa for its unique nature and people. The emotions we have experienced here are hard to convey but can be given, that’s why we have dedicated our lives to it. Each point of the route has already been tried by us personally, it remains to make an individual program for you personally.
