Freetown and Western Islands Travel Guide

Region

Most trips start in Freetown, where markets, museums and Krio heritage sit beside an Atlantic-facing peninsula of beaches. Use the capital as a base for day trips by boat to Bunce Island style history is elsewhere, and for easy island escapes to the Banana Islands. Travel is simplest in the dry season, and ferries and water taxis depend on tides and weather.
