Day 01 :

Arrival Garowe-EYl

Upon arrival in Garowe, our team will assist with immigration and arrange a pickup for the 225-kilometer drive to Eyl, once a major operational center for pirates, where trade and ransom negotiations took place. Travel through the Nugaal region, passing nomadic communities and herds of camels, goats, and cows grazing across the plains. After 60 km, stop at Salaam village for lunch, savoring traditional Somali dishes. After the meal, enjoy a refreshing cup of organic Somali tea made with camel milk, a thirst-quenching local specialty.
