NatureSomaliland is a non-profit organization based in Hargeisa, Somaliland. We are about conserving our unique birds and other wildlife by looking after their habitats and minimising illegal off-take.
We delight in catering to birders who desire to see the unique birds and other rare wildlife of Somaliland.
Most clients prefer to cover Somaliland in its entirety by land from the Djibouti border to Daallo Forest Reserve and Maydh Port. Some fly into Hargeisa or Berbera and concentrate in the center and eastern parts of the country. It all depends on time available in a given tour.
Available to see are endemic and near-endemic species like Warsangli Linnet, Somali Pigeon, Somali Thrush, Archer’s Buzzard, Golden-Winged Grosbeak, Little Brown, Heuglin’s and Arabian Bustard, Somali and Lesser Hoopoe Lark, Somali Wheater, Somali Bee-Eater and Daallo Forest’s confusing version of African Scops Owl and much more.
You love larks, it’s heavenly here!
Visitor visas are easily available at any entry point to the country or can even be obtained in quite a few countries we have a diplomatic presence.
Some of our clients fly into Djibouti by way of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and before bringing them over into Somaliland, we spend a day or two looking around Djibouti for the endemic Djibouti Francolin, other Rift Valley, mountain, acacia scrub and sea-shore species like Bonelli’s Eagle, White-Crowned Black Wheatear, White-Throated Seed-Eater, Sombre rock-Chat, Arabian Golden and Somali Sparrow, White-Eye and Slender-Billed Gull and plenty more. There are sea-birds and wader species galore along Djibouti beaches.
It’s a hard expensive small country but if determined, we can find a way to help.
