Between mountains and sea, Sierra Leone’s capital bubbles with colour and charm.

TURTLE ISLANDS

There are eight tiny islands, Bakie, Bumpetuk, Chepo, Hoong, Mut, Nyangei, Sei and Yele, Which form the Turtle Islands. Each is a slice of pure, bright sand, framed by swaying palms silhouetted against a hazy blue sky.Ā While the local chief makes his home on Chepo, Hoong is strictly for initiated men. Women passing in boats are known to have covered their heads in towels for fear of offending the spirits.
