uinea, often called Guinea-
Conakry, is a coastal country
stretched in West Africa, facing out
onto the Atlantic Ocean. Guinea is a
captivating country, divided into four
great natural regions, with a varied and
complex territory from the coastline
to its plains, including savannahs and
dense forests, and also the mountains
containing the sources of the principal
rivers of West Africa.
shaded by beautiful mangroves, palm
trees and coconut palms.
A striking nature
The surroundings of Conakry have
beautiful, natural sites worth the visit.
You can first admire the islands of Loos,
located a few minutes by boat from
Conakry. The three main islands are
named Tamara, Kassa and Roume, but
there are several smaller islands nearby.
Once the headquarters of slave trading,
Roume Island was made famous by
Robert Louis Stevenson's novel “The
Treasure Island”. These islands are a
popular tourist attraction with verdant
forests and wonderful white-sand
beaches.
Conakry’s botanical garden, more
towards the centre of the city, has
magnificent, impressive tropical trees,
presenting the typical Guinean fauna.
Bel Air beach, located in the prefecture
of Boffa, 225 km off Conakry, is
undeniably one of the most beautiful
beaches on the West African coast,
with its seven-kilometre Coconut tree
lined white sandy beach. Between
Conakry and Boffa, Sangareya Bay
is famous for its mangrove forest,
crossed by a waterway and run through
by streams. The coastline holds many
slave sites, ensuing slave trading.
Other splendours include the Soumba
waterfalls and Mount Kaukoulima, set
in the nearby town of Dubreeka, a short
drive from Conakry. I
