Getting around Sierra Leone
The airport sits across the estuary from Freetown; most arrivals take a ferry, a water taxi or a helicopter. Shared taxis, 'poda-poda' minibuses and okada motorbikes serve the peninsula.
Key facts
- Driving: on the right. Foreign licences with an IDP are accepted for short stays; roads outside Freetown are rough, and most visitors hire a driver.
