The Somali people are traditionally a pastoralist society who spend most of their time looking after their livestock. Here at Salahley you will find not only a beautiful savanah country side but also you will be able to experience the nomadic lifestyle of the Somali people. You will see traditional Aqal-Somali (A portable nomadic house), you will see men milking shecamels, you will see little girls looking after sheep and goats in the open savanah areas.
