Guinea in brief
Guinea, known as the water tower of West Africa, is a jewel of diversity.
Firstly, its landscapes vary from the sunny beaches of Bel Air to the high plateaus of Fouta Djallon.
Then there's the cultural richness evident in the lively markets, traditional dances and enchanting music.
Nevertheless, it's its flora and fauna, particularly in reserves such as Niokolo-Koba National Park, that amaze.
Finally, the hospitality of the Guineans makes every visit memorable.
