Because Somaliland is a semi-desert environment they are constantly on the search for water in the remote areas. You will see thousands of bore holes littering the landscape of past explorations. You will also see huge concrete retainers for more established well and also very deep one used to capture the rains. They can then store water for months.
The weather can be divided into 2 dry seasons (Northeast Monsoon and Southwest Monsoon) and 2 wet seasons (Spring transition and Autumn transition). The Monsoon times are windy but dry. The Northeast Monsoon is December - March and the Southwest Monsoon is May – October.
The Spring Transition is April through May and bring the heaviest rains and destructive storms. Flooding does occur.
The Southwest Monsoon in May - October brings a return of infrequent showers over the southern part of the country.
The Fall Transition is October - November includes the second (and shorter) rainy season. Leave a Comment

Well, this place is pretty much completely off of ANY path! We did go to a leper colony, though...Labadai. A friend of mine and I had our guitars, and we went there for a 'gig.' Played for the kids, sang songs, and they reciprocated in kind...singing, dancing. Had a great time interacting with them. That was one place where members of different clans actually got along. They were fighting for something more than clan rivalry -- their LIVES. Probably one of the most peaceful places in the entire country. Hope it still is. Leave a Comment

If you are in NE Somalia(Puntland) take a opportunity to ride some Somali horses. Horses in this part of Somalia are held to very high esteem. I'm told all horses in this area are decended from the horses of the Anti-Colonialist rebel the 'Mad Mullah' Sayid Mohamed Abdullah Hassan. Leave a Comment

You absolutly must go sight seeing. And you probably won't run into any other tourists while sight seeing because most people have little knowledge about Somalia, so therefore don't want to go. I think Somalia has the most beautiful undiscovered beaches, with 12 months of sunshine. If you can rent a 4-wheel drive truck 4 the day, you'll see things most people wouldn't. Leave a Comment

For a dry country like Somalia-it is a very beautiful place. Lots of flowers and colourful birds. And the (notso) occasional camel. Leave a Comment

Rent an SUV and go visit remote regions and towns/villages. The people are very welcoming and the scenery is breath taking. Just don't forget your supplies or a mobile phone(there are several opperators). Leave a Comment
