During my trip to all 197 countries in the world, I’ve loved to visit the extremes of our gorgeous planet. The lowest point on earth (the Dead Sea in Israel/Jordan) along with the highest point on earth (Mount Everest in 2023). I’m super keen to visit Omyakon in Russia, the coldest place on earth, and finally visiting the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia which is the hottest place on earth (as a temperature average over the year).

My first time in Ethiopia I didn’t manage to visit the Danakil Depression. I had just started my blog, and this was long before I understand how bloggers make money. And it’s expensive to visit the Danakil Depression. So I had to turn it down, and make do with the other epic things to do in Ethiopia, with feeding the hyenas in Harar being a particular highlight.

So when I went back to Ethiopia last year with my non-profit Mudita Adventures, visiting the Danakil Depression was my number 1 goal. I could finally afford it, so it was time to visit the hottest place on earth. And I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences during my visit to all 54 countries in Africa.
