Evenings in Socotra’s Highlands

After a day of exploring, evenings in the highlands offer time to rest, share the day’s experiences and enjoy life at camp

December 1, 2025


Evenings in Socotra’s Highlands

As evening approaches, the journey shifts from travelling and exploring to resting and enjoying the setting, while staying at camp gives you more time surrounded by the island’s landscapes

Each evening depends on the overnight location, weather and day’s programme, with highland evenings forming part of the experience when included in your itinerary

Life at camp

After arrival, our team sets up the tents and camp arrangements while the group rests after the day’s activities

We provide single and double tents with a sleeping mattress, pillow and blanket, and a kitchen team travels with a fully equipped kitchen carried in a dedicated vehicle to prepare meals

The evening offers time to eat, talk about the day’s discoveries and get to know your fellow travellers, or enjoy a quiet moment before sleep

Preparing for the evening

Keep an extra clothing layer and a headlamp or small torch nearby, as conditions in the highlands can differ from those along the coast

Follow the team’s directions when moving around camp, respect other travellers’ rest and keep the setting clean

Camping as part of the expedition

Sleeping outdoors is an important part of our journey, so understanding the equipment and facilities helps you prepare before booking
