A travel promo video showing a recent trip to the Horn of Africa to visit both Ethiopia and (the Republic of) Somaliland.
We traveled overland from the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa visiting towns such as Dire Dawa and Harar the crossing the border into Somaliland. From here we visited Hargeisa, the capital plus the costal settlement of Berbera.
The people of Somaliland have been fighting for international recognition ever since the civil war and declaration of independence in 1991. With deserted beaches, 5000 year old cave paintings and a tiny capital city full of warm friendly people, Somaliland is a extremely unique side of Africa, that is so far empty of tourists, yet full of adventure and potential!
