Sierra Leone, a West African country known for its rich history, diverse culture, and stunning landscapes, offers a unique travel experience. The country boasts pristine beaches along its Atlantic coastline, with spots like River Number Two and Tokeh Beach being particularly popular for their white sands and clear waters. Freetown, the capital city, is a vibrant urban center where visitors can explore historical sites like the Cotton Tree and the National Museum, which provide insights into the nation's past, including its role in the transatlantic slave trade and its journey to independence.
For nature enthusiasts, Sierra Leone is a treasure trove of biodiversity and natural beauty. The country is home to several wildlife reserves and national parks, such as the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary and Outamba-Kilimi National Park, where travelers can witness a variety of wildlife including chimpanzees, hippos, and a wide array of bird species. The lush forests and rolling hills of the interior, particularly in places like the Loma Mountains and the Tiwai Island Wildlife Sanctuary, offer excellent opportunities for hiking and ecotourism.
Sierra Leone also offers a vibrant cultural experience, with its music, dance, and festivals reflecting a blend of traditional and modern influences. Visitors can enjoy local cuisine, which features dishes like cassava leaves, groundnut stew, and fresh seafood, offering a taste of the country's culinary diversity. Despite its troubled past marked by civil war, Sierra Leone has made significant strides in rebuilding and is increasingly welcoming to tourists, with improving infrastructure and a growing number of accommodations ranging from eco-lodges to beach resorts. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a deeper understanding of West African culture, Sierra Leone provides a rewarding and unforgettable travel experience.
Took care of every single detail from prior to our arrival in Cario until we we're dropped of at the airport a week later.
Our hotels, tours, meals, and tour group we're all wonderful.
Our tour guide was wonderful!
The price was great and the people wonderful!
I have dealt with Anthony Horrobin on a number of occasions and it is like talking to an old friend on the phone. Anthony is super-efficient and will always go the extra mile to create the perfect trip.
I purchased my rid tour as part of a group coupon. Is obituary hesitant but my tour was great. The staff at Encounters were professional and helpful. I had a lot of questions but no one made me feel like a pest. Good experience.
I always wanted to go to Morocco and I finally got to go last September. I'm glad I chose this tour group. They were professional and attentive. Good times!
Anthony has been amazing throughout my planning of my tour. He has been very quick in replying to my emails and always answering with everything I wanted to know.
I look forward to hopefully planning my next trip through him next year!
This is our first travel through Encounters Travel and so far the arrangement is working very well. Our travel is not until April 2017 so I am more than hopeful all will continue to run as smoothly as it has so far.
