About Guinea

Guinea runs from the Atlantic coast and mangrove creeks up into the Fouta Djallon highlands, whose rivers feed much of West Africa. The plateau around Dalaba and Labé offers waterfalls and cool walking, the Îles de Los near Conakry give the coast a beach option, and Mount Nimba on the southern border is a forest reserve. The dry months from November to April are easiest for travel, while the wet season from May to October soaks the coast and highlands.
