Itinerary
& Highlights |

Stay on Moucha Island for a 2 day 1 night extension. Guests will stay in traditional bungalows with Air conditioning(not available til 8pm) and private bathroom. 1 dive is included in the cost of the excursion, any extra dives must be paid for locally (30 Euros per dive).
Moucha island is very basic, there is one small bar area and a small resturant area. It is ideal if all you wish to do is enjoy a swim in the sea and relax in a deck chair.
An ideal oppertunity to sort out your dive kit and look through the photo's of your trip.
Lunch, evening meal, breakfast and lunch on the second day is included. Water is also included throughout your stay. Alcohol is available in the bar but not included in the price.
For those of you who find sitting still for too long impossible! the salt lake excursion is for you. Not only is the Salt lake in itself stunning the scenery that you will travel through to get there will take your breath away.
Rather than remaining on Moucha island for your last day you will depart early in the morning and travel 11/2 hours from Djibouti City. The salt lake is 150m below sea level, the lowest point of Africa and is the worlds "saltiest lake" Locals mine salt here and the salt is transported to Ethiopia. The lake is surrounded by dormant volcanoes and lava fields which add to the beauty of this natural wonder. On your way to Lake Assal you will pass huge canyons, volcano's and and hot springs. The guides will stop so that you have opportunity to see lots of the surrounding countryside of Djibouti which is fascinating and take photos. Lunch is included in the trip and guests will arrive back in Djibouti in the evening in time for their flight.
This excursion is approx 100euro per person with a minimum number of 4, for bigger groups the price will be reduced.
Djibouti Town Option
If you would rather not stay on Moucha Island at all we can still arrange the Salt Lake excursion but with a night in Djibouti town instead with no diving.
Djibouti is a new country to Tourism and does not have a large number of organised tours. The standard of hotels within Djibouti town are very poor and therefore we do not wish to put our guests in these.
There is however a Sheraton Hotel and depending on availability we can book this for you for your last night in Djibouti the extra cost will be around £120 per room. plus approx 100Euro for the salt lake. This will need to be pre booked. |
