Guinea Suggested Trips

Fria is a bauxite town just a couple of hours outside of Conakry, if you get a good taxi driver... and make sure he drives safely - car accidents kill and hurt many people every year in Guinea.

There is a recreation area with outside swimming pool where Frians through many a dance party. Go swimming or dancing, it will be an experience unlike any other any where else.

Beware the lack of electricity! However, it can be fun and amazing to see the women in the market sell their produce by candlelight.

Big, dirty, impoverished! What isn't there to love about Conakry? The beaches are foul; swimming may result in bacterial infections.

Another Guinean town that lacks electricity! However, it makes up for that in cultural richness. If you don't speak the local language, French is a necessity.

You'll most likely have to pass by this town when going up-country. President Conte has history here. Try climbing the nearby mountain at Kilometre Cinq, it's called Le Chien qui Fume and it has an amazing view.
