    Very varied, reliable organization, always solution-oriented (big thanks to Nesi!), surprisingly good accommodation, great transport (Toyota Land Cruiser), impressive landscapes, friendly people, great group. I will probably become a regular Penguin customer!

    A very interesting tour with some great scenery and cultural sites. The highlight of Somaliland for me was the rock art at Las Geel, probably the best I’ve seen. Djibouti was a geological wonderland. I would highly recommend this trip, especially for those who enjoy visually breathtaking terrain.
