Často kladené otázky

Is Socotra safe?

Socotra has always been and remains safe. The island is very autonomous from the rest of Yemen, and the civil war has never reached here.

What is the accommodation like?

Sleeping is exclusively in campsites, in tents equipped with all the necessary items (mattresses, pillows, blankets). The conditions are basic, but the experience of sleeping on the beach, in a dragon’s blood tree forest, or on sand dunes is truly unique.

What about showers and toilets?

The campsites are mostly equipped with basic showers and toilets. If not, portable toilets are available.

Is electricity available in the campsites?

Some campsites have basic lighting. We recommend bringing a power bank (preferably solar-powered) for charging electronics. If needed, electronics can also be charged in the car during the drive.

Is there an internet signal available?

A local SIM card works on Socotra island, but the signal is often weak, sometimes non-exist. Be prepared for a detox :)

Is there any food provided?

The price includes full board, including non-alcoholic drinks. During the trip, we will have a chef who will cook for us. The meals usually consist of fish, rice, potatoes, and vegetables. If you don’t like fish, please let us know, and we’ll arrange an alternative.
