Overview

Sierra Leone

Like its neighbours, Guinea in the north and Liberia in the south, Sierra Leone faces the Atlantic Ocean. This West African country is proud of its beautiful beaches around Freetown and on the Turtle Islands. Not far from the capital is Brunce Island and its bleak memorial fort from where slaves were once shipped to the new world. Visitors will enjoy the diverse landscapes in the country, not to mention its nature reserves. However, due to the country's instability, the decision to come here cannot be taken lightly.

pros

  •  Some of Africa's most beautiful beaches are in Sierra Leone.
  •  With its beaches and reserves, Sierre Leone is a seaside and eco-tourist holiday hotspot.

cons

  •  The country has lived through over ten years of civil war.
  •  The roads are in need of repair and the traffic flow is staggered.
  •  Very few airlines fly to the country and the journey is very long.
  •  The country is represented by the Embassy of Sierra Leone in London.
