For your safety and comfort, we recommend using only National Tourist Board approved taxis which are indicated with stickers.

Local taxis and mini buses (poda-poda), autorickshaws (kekeh) and Bikes (okada) are also available throughout Sierra Leone for travellers on a very tight budget and interested in immersing themselves in the local culture.
