Finally, if you do find Bradt Somaliland useful, you’ll be doing me a big favour by posting a review on http://www.amazon.com, http://www.amazon.co.uk or a similar online bookseller.

This guide is really helpful for people who are going to travel in Somaliland. There is great hospitality and wonderful service in this internationally unrecognized country. Berbera & Las-geel were amazing, & we had a great time. Somaliland Travel & Tourism made everything so easy & enjoyable.
I’m glad I found out about this blog since I’m planning to visit Somaliland in August … I already brought the Bradt-Guide. Has anyone been there? Any recommendations NOT to go due to safety reasons? Is it possible to enter via Ethiopia overland?
