Ogo Mountains

The Ogo Mountains or the Galgodon Highlands are the main mountain range in Somaliland, a de facto state considered internationally to be part of Somalia, located in the north of the country. The main feature of these mountains is their tourist inaccessibility in comparison to other African ranges, as well as the border position close to the Middle East across the Gulf of Eden of the Arabian Sea of the Indian Ocean. There are 98 named mountains in the Ogo Mountains. The highest and most prominent mountain is Shimbiris (2,460 m / 8,071 ft).
