I stay in Aberdeen – Lumley Beach area with nice beaches… It is hard to find here cheap and safe accommodatiom – the last expensive solution if you want to be close to the beach is Sweet Mother’s Motel where they charge 100 000 leones per room, where (sometimes) they have electric power and running water.
It cost 15 000 leones by taxi each way (like one hour drive) to get to Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary. They allow tourist to get in at the time of feeding – 10.30 am daily. You have to pay 30000 leones enfry fee and then the guide will take you for the tour.
Chimps – almost a 100 of them – have here wide enclosures and a lot of freedom, but the disadvantage for tourist is that they stay in a distance. I loved most the babies from the quarantine section – I have some good pictures of them. Couple of adult chimps were throwing rocks on the visitors – you should be careful…
I the afternoon I was swiming in the warm ocean. Sierra Leone has probalbly the nicest beaches of West Africa… They are almost empty. Tomorrow I’ll fly out of the country – so it was the last chance to enjoy it…
