Tour itinerary can be seen below.
Early transfer from the airport to our hotel (or arrive a day earlier). Today we take a walking tour of Monrovia. We will stop for lunch in the Embassy District before returning to our hotel in the late afternoon.
After breakfast we travel West to Robertsport where we will spend two nights. Robersport is a city previously settled by African American freed slaves and was later an allied forces airbase in World War 2. On the way we visit and swim at Bomi Lake at Tubmanburg; a 100 metre deep blue lake suspended midway between the peaks of surrounding mountains. Depending on accessibility at the time we will also visit an abandoned UN base which was used to deal with the Ebola outbreak in 2015.
We spend the morning around Robertsport taking a walking tour. Visit churches, schools and the abandoned African Centre of Culture. Return to our accommodation for lunch before spending the afternoon at leisure or taking optional surf lessons.
In the morning we will depart for the Sierra Leone border. Cross the border and join our new transport to take us to Tiwai Island Sanctuary,
Today we will enjoy local meals prepared by community cooks and will have some free time to take nature walks where you can hopefully spot red, black and white colobus monkeys. There is also the opportunity to take an optional river cruise around the island.
Depart Tiwai in the morning and drive to the city of Bo - the centre of Sierra Leone's diamond mining industry. It's also known as the 'Manchester of Sierra Leone' due to its music scene and nightlife. The day is free to wander around the city or relax in the hotel resort.
After breakfast we will travel to one of Sierra Leones's most famous and unspoilt beaches; River Beach Number 2. Here we have a free afternoon around the beach or the option to take a boat cruise up the river and further hike. The evening is free to relax on the beach with meals of fresh fish and beers.
After breakfast we take a boat ride to Banana Island. The island was initially inhabited by the Portuguese and later by freed slaves. Return to River Beach Number 2 in the late afternoon and rest of the day at leisure.
In the morning we head to Freetown and take a tour of the city including the famous cotton tree, market, war memorial and St George's cathedral.
Today the tour ends. Leave for your flight home or continue your travels through West Africa.
