Where the only thing more abundant than diamonds is the number of times you'll have to explain where Sierra Leone is.
Sierra Leone: Where the phrase "I'm starving!" is a literal warning sign on the side of the road.
Sierra Leone: Where the national anthem is actually just the sound of a hundred drummers trying to get the attention of a distant taxi.
Sierra Leone is home to the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which rescues and rehabilitates orphaned chimpanzees.
The country has some of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in West Africa, such as River No. 2 Beach.
