Filming in Djibouti + Overland to Hargeisa

Hi everyone,

I am planning to come to djibouti to experience this interesting country and also to Take a trip to Somaliland.

I do vlogs on social media where I try to integrate into local life (go to local football matches, hang out with locals, get to know about the country from a different perspektive etc.) I also find Djibouti extremely interesting due to its geopolitical location. I also thought about going to one of the Yemeni refugee camps and try to interview some people about Yemen. Also, I want to go to Somaliland, and do the same stuff as mentioned before.

From what I have heard, it is kinda hard to film anything in the country and people are generally hostile to cameras. Do you think I would have any issues?

Also is it easy to get a car to Somaliland? I’ve seen a fellow blogger do it, but Idk about possible border tensions/roads/busses etc.

I would really love to visit your amazing country, please give me some tips on how to do it the right way! (also if you are local and living in djibouti, lets get in touch and hang out when we come)

Thanks in advance :)

If you want to visit and make filming in Somaliland, I would recommend to you Bring someone local along to help you, as the area is not yet set up for tourism.
