How to visit

How visitors can enjoy Somalia

Travel must be planned around current security, permits and local authority requirements. Somaliland routes are often planned separately from Somalia, and visitors should use vetted local operators and conservative itineraries.

Travel reminder: Adventure conditions, park access, weather, safety rules and visa requirements may change. Confirm the latest route and entry information before booking.

Visa and entry preparation

Check whether your nationality needs a visa, eVisa, travel authorization, invitation letter or embassy route before planning adventure activities.

Hotels and route support

Choose accommodation close to the activity zone, whether that means a city base, safari lodge, mountain guesthouse, coastal hotel or remote camp.

Airport pickup and transport

Arrange arrival pickup, private transfers, car rental, 4x4 support or guided transport so the adventure starts with a clear route from the airport.
