Introducing Goda Mountains
If you need an escape hatch, look no further. Northwest of the Gulf of Tadjoura, the Goda Mountains rise to a height of 1750m and are a spectacular natural oddity. This area shelters one of the rare speckles of green on Djibouti’s parched map, like a giant oasis – a real relief after the scorched desert landscapes. It sometimes rains here and it’s often misty. A real shock for some visitors, who find it inconceivable that the tiny settlements of Dittilou, Bankoualé or Randa belong to the same country as the one they left on the burning plain just one hour before.

The Goda Mountains shelter Djibouti’s only national park, Forêt du Day National Park, which boasts good potential for hiking.
