Best for: Empty white-sand beaches an hour from a capital, and eleven primate species on one island
Sierra Leone in 8 days: the peninsula beaches, Tiwai Island and Freetown
Freetown → Tacugama → River No. 2 → Banana Islands → Tiwai → Freetown
Mountains dropping straight into the Atlantic on a peninsula of near-empty beaches, a river island with one of the highest primate densities measured anywhere, and a city founded by freed slaves — in a country that has spent twenty years putting itself back together.
