Tourism Is Life

A cross-border circuit through Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia — the three countries that meet at the Mano River. One route, three national guides, and a single DMC coordinating the handover at each border.

Duration: Custom · typically 13 days · 3 countries
Group: 6–16
Difficulty: moderate
Languages: English, French

Highlights

Conakry, Freetown, and Monrovia in one itinerary
A guide change at each land border, not a single guide guessing their way through three countries
