About This Tour
Explore Somalia’s easternmost point on this 8-day adventure. Visit Cape Guardafui, where high cliffs meet the Indian Ocean, and discover Hafun, a historic town with sandy beaches and ancient trade history. Travel through Puntland, experiencing its markets, diverse landscapes, and rich traditions. This journey is a mix of nature, history, and Somali heritage. Mogadishu, Cape Guardafui, and Hafun are important places in northeastern Puntland, Somalia. Cape Guardafui, Africa’s easternmost point, is marked by high cliffs meeting the Indian Ocean, long serving as a crucial navigation landmark for sailors. South of Cape Guardafui lies Hafun, a picturesque peninsula with sandy beaches, historically known for its trade in frankincense and myrrh. This area, forming Somalia’s easternmost corner along the Guardafui Channel, has played a significant role in maritime history. In the 1930s, an Italian company established the world’s largest salt production plant in Hafun, renaming it Dante. By 1933, it was producing over 200,000 metric tonnes of salt annually, primarily exported to the Far East. Hafun also hosts an ancient necropolis, reflecting its deep historical significance. Today, both Cape Guardafui and Hafun symbolize Somalia’s rich maritime heritage, blending natural beauty, trade history, and cultural importance.
