www.highandwild.co.uk Some places seem to hover on the edge of the imagination. The remote and exotic island of Socotra, located between the coasts of Yemen and Somalia in the Indian Ocean, is just such a place.
Known by ancient Indian, Arabian and Greek seafarers as an entrepôt for myrrh, frankincense and dragon's blood, Socotra has been biologically isolated for several million years.
Being virtually isolated from the rest of the world for such a long period, Socotra remains one of the most fascinating places on earth, and boasts Arabia's greatest plant and animal diversity.
A truly extraordinary journey organized by the Highland Wild Company will introduce visitors to the natural wonders of this blessed island, sometimes dubbed 'the other Galapagos'.
The holiday offers travellers the opportunity to dive through the looking glass into an almost otherworldly environment and one of the last remaining unchanged corners of our world.
