Reisgids Sierra Leone - Bradt

Productomschrijving: Thoroughly updated by a resident journalist, this updated Bradt Sierra Leone Guidebook remains the only English-language guide dedicated to this unique West African destination, one of just three countries where the über-elusive pygmy hippo can be found. One of Africa’s last ‘hidden gems’, where coastal mountains and secluded beaches are the stuff of daydreams, Sierra Leone lives up to its nickname of ‘Sweet Salone’.

This welcoming country offers much natural beauty and culture, yet remains unsullied by mass tourism. In many places, local people are happily surprised each time they get visitors, and strive to make your stay the best possible. The country continues to be one of West Africa’s best beach destinations and trekking zones, the latter thanks to varied topography and the presence of Mount Bintumani, the region’s highest peak.

Then there’s Ma Dengn (a new beach music festival); sanctuaries for rescued chimpanzees; tours of traditional wooden-board homes of the Krio people, descendants of repatriated slaves; and the significance of the UNESCO site of Bunce Island, a former slave-trading fort, as a destination for heritage tourism.

Although the country’s devastating past still informs many aspects of daily life, Sierra Leone is proudly back on the tourism map for the discerning, adventurous, beach-loving, jungle-exploring, mountain-scaling traveller, volunteer or international worker – and all those curious of heart.

Offering significantly more coverage than any other guide, this updated Bradt Sierra Leone Guidebook is the ideal travel companion to this up-and-coming African destination.
