About Djibouti packages
Djibouti is a tiny nation with a gigantic personality — a geological wonderland at the meeting point of three tectonic plates, where the African continent is literally tearing apart. Lake Assal is Africa's lowest point and the world's saltiest body of water outside Antarctica. Lake Abbe looks like another planet with its towering limestone chimneys venting steam at sunrise. The Gulf of Tadjoura offers snorkelling with whale sharks — the world's largest fish. Day Forest shelters the last relict cloud forest on the Horn of Africa. In just a few square kilometres, you can experience scenery that spans a continent.
