    • What is Sierra Leone known for?

      Sierra Leone

      • Sierra Leone, country of western Africa.
      • The country owes its name to the 15th-century Portuguese explorer Pedro de Sintra, the first European to sight and map Freetown harbour.
      • The original Portuguese name, Serra Lyoa (“Lion Mountains”), referred to the range of hills that surrounds the harbour.
      • The capital, Freetown, commands one of the world’s largest natural harbours.

      Sierra Leone has so much to offer, here are some of the things Sierra Leone is known for.

      • Tiwai Island: Joining a nighttime hike through the forest in search of the elusive pygmy hippo.
      • Freetown Peninsula: Eating barbecued lobster pulled fresh from the sea at one of the peninsula's stunning beaches.
      • Outamba-Kilimi National Park: Gliding down the river by dugout canoe while monkeys and birds chatter in the surrounding forest.
      • Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary: Learning about conservation efforts and viewing chimps playing in their sanctuary home.
      • Freetown: Soaking up the atmosphere: spotting colourful Krio houses, strolling the beach and dancing till dawn at one of the city's energetic clubs.
