Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone is on the West Coast of Africa and counts 402km of coastline. The Republic of Guinea is to the north and northeast; Liberia is to the east and southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean on the west and south. From an approximate 100km coastal belt of low-lying land, the country rises to a mountain plateau near the eastern frontier rising 1200m to 2000m with a rich timber forest region.
The peninsula, on which the capital and main commercial centre of Freetown stands, is 40km long and 17km wide with a mountainous interior. Be aware that the international airport is quite far of the city by road, but reachable by boat but it's not very convenient.
Banana Islands is a prime tourist spot near Freetown with the idyllic environment of pristine tropical islands.
