Cal Madow Escarpment
A massive limestone mountain range that runs parallel to the coast, offering dramatic vertical drops.
Mount Shimbiris
The highest peak in Somalia, standing prominently within the Surud Mountain range.
Wadi Systems
Intricate and artistic patterns formed by seasonal dry riverbeds carving through the desert landscape.
Frankincense Slopes
High-altitude areas known for the natural growth of ancient Boswellia trees used for frankincense production.
Highland Settlements
Small, remote mountain villages perched on the ridges of the Golis Mountains.
The right side is the most scenic due to the rugged topography. Afternoon flights are best as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the cliffs, providing excellent depth and shadows for photography. Watch for the sharp contrast between the high mountains and the narrow coastal plains as you descend into Bosaso.
