Hiking and Trekking Paradise

A mountainous location called Fouta Djallon may be found in Guinea's central-western region. Some of the major rivers in Western Africa, including the Gambia, Bafing (Senegal), Bakoy, Koliba, Kolentè (Grand Scarcies), Kaba (Little Scarcies), and Konkouré, are derived from this mountain range of surrealistic reliefs, whose height ranges between 700 and 1500 meters. This location is particularly great for hiking and other outdoor activities.

Fouta Djallon is an essential region in a trip to West Africa for hikers because it offers a variety of treks. Its pleasant climate, majestic landscapes, countless waterfalls, impressive cannons, natural swimming pools for refreshing yourself, and spectacular granite cliffs make it an ideal destination. Several tributaries of the Niger River are also fed by the eastern hillsides of Fouta Djalon, and the Niger River's source is protected by the Guinea Highlands foothills, which are located to the south-east of this hilly chain, not far from the Sierra Leonean border.
