Overview

Guinea

From heavenly beaches to the splendours of the Guinean forest, as well as Mount Nimba (5,750 feet), highest point in West Africa, part of the UNESCO's World Heritage list, Guinea is a good summary of West Africa. Many ethnic groups, proud of their own language, customs and ancestral traditions live together in this former French colony. In this country where tourism is unknown, a trip to Guinea is more of an exploration. The only tour operators that are interested in this destination are extreme specialists, like Nomade or Atalante.

Our Editorial team's advice

Before departure, make sure you have your films to take some photos, and ask for permission before photographing inhabitants. Also, do not take pictures of official buildings. In all circumstances, stay calm and do not raise your voice, because reactions can be violent and unexpected. Even though Islam is tolerant in Guinea, respect places of worship and public religious ceremonies, usually attracting many people (like Eid-al-Kabir).
