Macrobia Expeditions Named Best Somaliland Adventure Travel Agency
HARGEISA, Somaliland – September 29, 2026 – Macrobia Expeditions has once again been recognized as the best Somaliland adventure travel agency and tour operator, receiving an award from the Somaliland Ministry of Commerce and Tourism for its contribution to the country’s travel and tourism industry.
The award marks another milestone for a company whose story began in Somaliland with a simple ambition: to introduce international travelers to the country’s landscapes, heritage, culture and people while putting Somaliland on the global adventure travel map.
In 2025 and 2026, Macrobia Expeditions has also brought more international travelers to Somaliland than any other local tour operator, reinforcing its position as the most trusted tourism company.
Pioneering Somaliland Tourism
For nearly a decade, Macrobia Expeditions has pioneered and actively promoted Somaliland as an international adventure destination, developing experiences in places that remain largely unknown to the outside world.
Today, its tours take travelers from Hargeisa and the ancient rock art of Laas Geel to Berbera, Sheikh, Borama, Zeila, Burao, Erigavo and the Daallo Mountains.
“Our story began right here in Somaliland,” said Abdirizaq Abdullahi, Founder and Managing Director of Macrobia Expeditions. “The mission was simple: to show the world the beauty, culture and adventure of my homeland.”
Built by a Traveler, for Travelers
Abdirizaq’s approach was shaped by his own experience travelling extensively around the world before returning to his homeland with a mission to promote Somaliland and support local communities.
As an international adventure traveler himself, he understands what travelers seek when visiting less-explored destinations, while his Somaliland roots provide the local perspective needed to create authentic experiences.
This traveler-first approach has helped Macrobia build a reputation as the best Somaliland adventure travel agency for travelers seeking professionally organized, authentic and locally operated journeys, while earning the trust of solo travelers, private clients, groups and international tour companies.
International Recognition and Trust
Macrobia’s reputation extends beyond Somaliland. The company has received six consecutive Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice awards and developed long-standing partnerships with major international travel companies.
It has also demonstrated Somaliland’s potential for premium tourism by working with international luxury expedition specialists on complex journeys involving private aviation, leading experts and exclusive cultural experiences.
“To every guest who dared to travel differently, who chose Somaliland and trusted us with their journey: thank you,” Abdirizaq said. “Every traveler who returns home with a positive story becomes an ambassador for Somaliland.”
Tourism That Gives Back
Macrobia works with local guides, drivers, hotels, restaurants and suppliers, helping tourism spending benefit communities throughout Somaliland. Part of its tour revenues also supports social initiatives, including food assistance for vulnerable families.
“Travel has allowed me to see the world, and I wanted to use those experiences to do something positive for my own country,” Abdirizaq said. “Tourism can create jobs, support communities and change how the world sees Somaliland.”
Abdirizaq also thanked Macrobia’s guides, drivers and operations team, as well as the Somaliland Ministry of Commerce and Tourism and the Government of Somaliland for their continued efforts to develop and promote tourism.
“This award is not the finish line,” he added. “We will keep pushing boundaries, creating new experiences and proudly promoting Somaliland to the world.”
