best places to visit in guinea
Conakry
Conakry is the capital and largest city of Guinea. This port city serves as the economic, financial, and cultural center of the country.
Pulsating to very African rhythms with its patchwork of markets (check out the colorful veg in Madina bazaar), beer bars, and Malinke music dives, Conakry is everything you’d expect of a capital representing one of West Africa’s most haphazard nations. In the heart of the town still stands the haunting remnants of Camp Boiro, where political prisoners were tortured during the upheavals under President Sékou Touré. However, pretty and important sights like St. Mary’s Cathedral and the National Museum of Guinea do well to balance it all out.
National Park of Upper Niger
The National Park of Upper Niger is a national park in eastern Guinea that was established in January 1997. The park covers an area of 554 km2 and protects important tracts of forest and savannah, and is considered a conservation priority for West Africa as a whole.
The park also encompasses various rivers and high-reaching thickets and is home to some of the only remaining dry forests in the country. Between the tree boughs and canopies, the reserve hides chimpanzees and Gambian mongooses, uber-rare West African manatees, and curious giant pangolins. For outdoorsy types and wildlife lovers, it’s surely the biggest attraction in the country.
