For added convenience, you can also apply for a visa online before your trip; just visit the official website for more information.
Before you embark on your adventure to Sierra Leone, make sure you’re prepared! A yellow fever vaccination is essential for entry, and you might need to show your vaccination certificate upon arrival. Additionally, malaria can pose a risk, especially during the wet season, so it’s advisable to bring along anti-malarial medication.
The best way to navigate Freetown and its surroundings is by using a private vehicle, preferably a 4×4 with a local driver who knows the area well. For a more local experience, you can hop on a keke, which is a type of rickshaw, or take a poda poda, the local buses that serve as another popular transportation option. These choices will help you explore the city and beyond with ease!
