We offer a range of immersive travel experiences designed to connect you deeply with the culture, people, and traditions of Guinea, West Africa. Each journey is thoughtfully curated, while remaining flexible to meet your needs.
1- Costal Guinea Trip
This exciting adventure is great for someone wanting more of a homestay experience. Based at our simple, comfortable campus in a suburb of Guinea’s capital Conakry, you will enjoy the local markets and community living. This trip includes lots of cultural immersion, an incredible 3 days trip to the rain forest, as well as a 3 days trip to an extraordinary tropical island. A great first-time-to-Africa trip!
2- Inland Guinea Trip
This trip is chock full of off-the-beaten-path and hard-to-get-to experiences, and is best suited for the more seasoned traveler. Starting off with 2 days at our Conakry campus, we quickly venture eastward into the heart of Guinea, the land of the ancient and rich traditions of the Mandingue Empire. Spend a week living simply in a remote village, and then travel up country to Kankan and ancient villages in the Hamanah region: Kouroussa, Baro, Koumana, Sangbaralla…and more. At the “Festival de Faranah” you will see spectacles by groups from all over Guinea and her neighboring countries of Mali, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Previously extremely difficult to experience, we are making it a bit easier to taste the remote village life and culture of Haute Guinea!
