The country is known to export coffee, gold, diamonds and petroleum products all across the world. Agricultural practices here serve as a backbone Read more
- Escape the heavy rains and gusty winds, in November and December, which are the best months to visit Guinea. If you love the coasts, humidity is likely to be your enemy. In the mountainous regions, the weather gets as cold as 5 degree Celsius.
- Pre-plan your daily itinerary before your arrival. Guinea is safe if precaution is taken rightly. Avoid walking alone at night and in isolated regions. Petty crimes are common everywhere. Paranoid or not, hiring a local guide shall help you enjoy your vacation. Practice and learn a bit of French, considered as the fanciest language on the planet, communicating in the same gives a nice touch when mingling with local Guineans. English speaking crowds are rare in this region, which makes a guide much more important as before.
- Many renowned carriers such as Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, Air Asia, Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways, regularly fly from India to Guinea. Kick start your journey by choosing from these world-class on air services. Sit back and relax while you are 40000 feet above the ground, and if you happen to dream about Guinea in your sleep, don’t be surprised! Once you reach the airport, taxi services are easily available, which is the best way to get around the city.
- In Conakry, visit the Grand Mosque. The minarets and Islamic architecture offer a pleasing site. It was funded by a king from Saudi Arabia and is also a popular spot for tourists. Nestled in the Islands, take a glimpse of Soumba, a famous waterfall not far from Conakry. Vacation or not, head over to the Iles De Los on the western tip, which is the perfect spot to rejuvenate and refresh from the worldly tasks. The beaches and fishing culture is something you’ll notice. You can also learn more about the country’s history at the National Museum of Guinea. Overall, Conakry will be the highlight of your time in the country.
- In the central region of Guinea, visit Fouta Djallon. Tourists can experience the site of local villages, spectacular waterfalls and viewing points from this mountainous region. Hiking is possible too! Mount Loura is the highest peak here.
- Mount Nimba is a nature reserve which has been titled as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Vast green pastures and dense forests here attract a lot of animal species and birds. Coming to Guinea and not visiting this gift by Mother Nature could surely be termed as a sin by experienced backpackers.
- While travelling to any African nation, a visit to a national park is a must. In Guinea, Badiar National Park and National Park of Upper Niger are where wildlife is in its natural habitat. Photographers can surely turn the tables with this opportunity. While you are in Guinea, don’t expect scrambled eggs and hamburgers. The local delicacies are way tastier. Don’t believe me? Try it yourself. Jollof Rice, FouFou, Yassa Chicken, Patates, Palm wine and Jus De Bissap are popular menu items.
- Take home with you delicious coffee, decorated jewellery, traditional clothes, carpets and wood carvings. For shopping, Gueckedou is considered as every shopaholic’s paradise.
