Besides the coasts, there are three types of landscape, a synthesis of the whole West Africa. In the north, the dry plains of High-Guinea are covered with savannah vegetation, shrubby and scattered with areas of forest. In the north west, Middle Guinea merges with the scenic heights of Fouta Djalon, offering superb views of the valleys and waterfalls. In the south east, the Guinea forested has a dense forest with precious woods, including mahogany wood.
