Beaches that supplied the postcard image for a country still better known for its recent history than its coastline, a chimpanzee sanctuary rehabilitating orphans of the bushmeat trade, and a warmth of welcome that visitors consistently say outpaces expectations.
The best time to visit Freetown & the Sierra Leone coast is Nov–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 31°C (88°F).
