Somaliland & Mogadishu Grand Expedition — 6 Days, 5 Nights

/per person
  • Duration : 6 Day / 5 Nights
  • Max People : 12
  • Somaliland

Cross an entire corner of the Horn of Africa in one continuous expedition — from Somaliland's mountain passes and 10,000-year-old rock art to the storm-worn arches of Mogadishu's seafront. This six-day route opens on the coast road into Berbera, climbs the Golis range on the old British colonial track, and traces handprints painted at Laas Geel before the tour turns north to Hargeisa's markets and the wind-carved galleries of Dhagax Kure. From there, a short domestic flight carries you to Mogadishu for a full day threading the old Shangani quarter, the working fish market, and a boat ride off Lido Beach. A private 4x4 fleet, professional drivers, local guides, and a mandatory security escort travel with you at every stage, so the only real decision each morning is where to point the camera first.
