Sierra Leone Tours & Holidays
Experience the vibrant culture and pristine wilderness of Sierra Leone with our expertly guided tours and holiday packages. Our 8-day Sierra Leone itinerary offers a journey that blends poignant history, rescued chimpanzees, tropical island beaches, and ancient rainforest in West Africa’s most resilient nation.
Sierra Leone is one of West Africa’s most rewarding destinations, shaped by a powerful history and a remarkable spirit of renewal. Once central to the transatlantic slave trade and later founded by freed slaves, the country has emerged from recent conflict with resilience, warmth, and a renewed welcome for curious travellers.
Along the coast, palm-fringed beaches and island hideaways line the Freetown Peninsula, while inland landscapes range from savanna and farmland to ancient rainforest. Highlights include rescued chimpanzees at Tacugama Sanctuary, the historic ruins of Bunce Island, relaxed island life on the Banana Islands, and wildlife-rich forests on Tiwai Island. Sierra Leone offers genuine discovery, striking natural beauty, and encounters shaped by the strength of its people.
Explore our Sierra Leone Tours
Sierra Leone remains one of West Africa’s most rewarding yet least visited destinations. Travel here feels genuinely exploratory, with uncrowded beaches, forested islands, and historic sites experienced without mass tourism. The country’s recent history gives real depth to every visit, and the warmth of the people is unmistakable. Our Small Group Adventure Tours approach (maximum 12 travellers) allows for meaningful encounters, whether that’s exploring Freetown with local guides, staying on quiet islands, or camping beneath rainforest canopy. Accommodation is simple, characterful, and well chosen to reflect the places you visit, creating an experience that feels immersive rather than packaged.
Our 8-Day Sierra Leone Tour Package
This week-long journey is carefully designed to show Sierra Leone’s diversity without rushing. You’ll begin in Freetown, exploring key historical landmarks before travelling by boat to Bunce Island, a powerful reminder of the region’s role in the transatlantic slave trade. The itinerary then balances wildlife and relaxation, with time at Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary, island stays on the Banana Islands, and rainforest exploration on Tiwai Island, home to rare primates and rich biodiversity. The tour finishes along the coast at Tokeh Beach, offering a calm end to an adventurous journey. Throughout, experienced local guides, comfortable transport, varied accommodation, and most meals are included, allowing you to focus fully on the experience.
