Discover Guinea Bissau

The azure seas of the African coast are very much the dominant feature of a journey into this beautiful region. As flocks of roseate flamingos dip their heads in the bountiful shores and critically endangered manatees breach beside the mangrove-fringed river banks, you can be forgiven for imagining the outside world has simply faded away.

So, it is in this world of timeless tribal cultures and exotic wildlife. This is a place whose splendour drew the first Portuguese settlers seeking gold, ivory, and land for plantations. As you sit beside a gilded sunset, sampling the seafood cuisine and seductive palm wine, the same attractions will work their abiding charm on you.

Feedback from our Travellers

  • Far exceeding my expectations, this was one of the best trips to Africa that I have ever done. Guinea-Bissau is such a beautiful country, with interesting history, lively ceremonies, lovely people and (surprisingly for a country that sees so few tourists) absolutely no hassle on the streets. Excellent service from start to finish. First-class tour leader.

  • This was a trip to Guinea Bissau little travelled to by foreign tourists. It was a well-balanced itinerary taking in the culture, architecture, history customs and wildlife on the Bajos islands. Our guide Augusto was wonderful and brought his country to life by his expert knowledge. The drivers and boatmen were friendly and helpful. Guinea Bissau is a poor country so it was not for the traveller who expected western standards. However, this was more than made up for by what we saw. By and large the food was excellent and the rooms were comfortable and most of all the warm heart of Africa was everywhere. I would recommend this trip to anyone who has the patience to put up with occasional delays, (we had none) or luxury.

  • Great trip, great sightseeing and tribal experiences as well as great local rep. The itinerary was great and we also got see an unexpected tribal ceremony in the Casamance part of Senegal. Another very agreeable surprise was a trip to Kayar, a large fishing village on the Atlantic Ocean coastline. We saw hundreds of brightly coloured fishing boats and the fishermen and helpers unloading their catch in very rough seas. An incredible experience. The time spent in the Bijagos islands was also fantastic, combining fantastic accommodation with French cuisine and experiencing the Vaca Bruto ceremony. I was also fortunate in that the tour members were a fantastic bunch, all exceedingly well travelled with a great sense of fun.
