About Guinea

Guinea is known as the "Water Tower of West Africa" because its highlands give rise to many of the region's major rivers, including the Niger, Senegal, and Gambia. The Fouta Djallon highlands offer dramatic scenery of waterfalls, gorges, and traditional Fulani villages. This culturally rich nation is home to various ethnic groups, each with distinct traditions, music, and crafts. From the bustling capital Conakry on the Atlantic coast to the misty mountains of the interior, Guinea offers authentic West African experiences far from mass tourism.
