Ali organized an incredible trip for us in Somalia and Somaliland. We couldn’t have done it without him. He even helped us get our visas on arrival without any problems. We felt safe and taken care of at all times. He knew everything about the area and made our trip unforgettable. His enthusiasm and friendliness made us feel right at home. We highly recommend him for a fantastic travel experience!

After our initial plans fell through, I contacted Visit Mogadishu (VM) to organize a trip to Somaliland and Mogadishu and provide a letter of invitation. They were able to prepare the letter within an hour and we obtained the visa on arrival. VM worked with Safaari in Hargeisa for the Somaliland portion, which was a 3-day predetermined itinerary. The hotels and food were great. Las Geel paintings were incredible. I wish we'd had more time in Hargeisa instead of visiting Sheekh, which was a bit out of the way and we weren't able to visit the necropolis. Some of the sites in Hargeisa were across from the hotel, so we could have done those on our own. Overall, the Somaliland portion of the tour was fine, but I know now that it can be done cheaper. I generally prefer solo travel without tours, so I would have opted to work with a local hotel to get the necessary visa clearance, permits, and transportation had I known this was possible. In my opinion, the Somaliland portion was overpriced. Our flight to Mogadishu was delayed, and when we arrived we were informed that there's a curfew at 5pm that requires us to start heading back to the hotel by 4:30. We only had a few hours that first day to stop at a cafe and park to mingle with locals. Unfortunately that was really the only time we were able to do that. The next morning we did spend at the fish market, which was incredible. Other than a short stop at the beach for lunch, we were in the vehicle the whole afternoon. I would recommend skipping the camel farm, since there are bigger camel markets in Hargeisa. I realize the security situation in Mogadishu is beyond the control of VM, but I wish I had known about the curfew. I might have decided to come to Somalia in 10 years in case the situation is improved. The tour was fine, though, and we saw the major sites on the agenda. A few were closed or no longer available (Black Hawk Down site is gone), but for me I prefer more interaction with the local population and walking or taking tuk-tuks in the city to get a feel for it. I know now that other tours offer post-curfew excursions and staying outside of the green zone, so if you are more risk-tolerant, I would suggest looking into those. If you want bragging rights that you've been to Mogadishu and/or are nervous about going there and want top security, then VM is great and will take care of you the whole way. The hotel inside the green zone was small, but efficient, has laundry, and great internet. I definitely recommend VM is this is your travel style/interest. VM was always very professional and the staff friendly. They seem genuinely interested in feedback, and they have been doing tours for a long time. Overall, I did enjoy what I was able to see in Mogadishu. I just wish we could have spent more time at places where real life is happening and less time in the vehicle.

It was a very interesting and intense emotional journey. It was nice to walk through the streets of the city full of history, full of desire to live, even if with so much difficulty. Very welcoming people. I would definitely stay here again. The organization of my visit was excellent, whoever accompanied me was very efficient and very attentive. It made me feel calm and happy to be in Mogadishu.

This was an absolutely excellent trip. The team took very good care of me, they were good at managing security and I felt safe at all points in time. Mogadishu is a wildly fascinating place full of contrast. The fish market is unlike any I have seen elsewhere in the world and walking from the fish market to the (ruined) lighthouse where they bring the fish ashore was perfect. I was there on a Friday which meant beaches were crowded with families enjoying a day out. I managed to get to both Lido Beach in Mogadishu as well as Jaziira Beach outside the city. If you have time I recommend making it out to Jaziira. Somaliland - Hargeisa and Berbera - was more relaxed than Mogadishu but certainly also great to visit. The cave paintings in Las Geel is a must-see. The team at Visit Mogadishu can certainly be trusted to arrange visits to Somalia and have been very helpful right from the first email contact.

I did a 3 day group tour in Mogadishu with Ali and team. It was very well organized and we were able to see all sites mentioned in the itinerary. We traveled to various places in bullet proof vehicles with guards as safety measures. Somalia is an untouched gem, beautiful coastline and so much potential. The long weekend was very enjoyable.

The tour was really interesting and we enjoyed Somalia and Somaliland a lot. Local people are very welcoming, the cities still "out of the beaten path" and Ali (my guide) was extremely professional, specially to garantee our security. He also did all the effort to make us feel like at home. Go visit Somalia!

It was a really good experience. At no point did we feel unsafe and people are extremely friendly. Obviously, after all the troubles, the infrastructure is lacking and there are a lot of ruined buildings but you can see the potential. Driving around the multitude of tuk tuks is fun, seeing the hundreds of families enjoying a day at the beach is heart warming and the food is very nice. Our guides, Ali and Omar, told us all about the history and showed us the city and surrounding areas.
