Helen Kennedy Africa Travel Specialist

"'Of Sierra Leone's wildlife, the most interesting aspect for me was the primates. It was great seeing evidence of Chimps in the forests, and a nature enthusiasts should visit Tiway Island, which is accessible but still under-developed: we stayed in tents under shelters and on platforms - it was very well organised'."

Best Time To Visit Sierra Leone

When to go

The best time to go to Sierra Leone is in the dry season, which runs from October to May. January and February tend to be the hottest months. Birders will find December or January most rewarding. Travel is possible in June and late September although there will be heavy down pours and rural roads can become very muddy.

Getting there

Brussells Airlines operates a daytime flight from London Heathrow via Brussells to Freetown 4 times a week. (Daytime flights on the outbound journey; overnight flights on the inbound journey).

Visas

Most visitors require a visa. Visas for British citizens currently cost about £110 including the service fee and must be obtained in advance of travel. We will help you with this process.

Health

Visitors should have a yellow fever certificate and take precautions against malaria. Always consult your doctor at least six weeks before travel and refer to this useful NHS website for details of recommended vaccinations for your destination. Always drink bottled water which is widely available from bars, hotels and guest houses.

Unspoilt Africa

Free from mass-market hotels and minibus tourism, Sierra Leone remains an unspoilt corner of Africa. Those seeking 5-star hotels should look elsewhere, but if you would rather swap tales with your local guides over a barbeque, this is the place to visit. Rainbow Tours is proud to be the first major UK tour operator to offer holidays to this beautiful and inspirational destination. We'd love to tell you all about travels in Sierra Leone, so do get in touch if you'd like to find out more.
