• 12 days in Mali, Guinea Conaky, Guinea Bissau
• overnights in hotels and camps

An extraordinary experience in a country untouched by tourism, very rich in wild nature with his savannas and forests, and with interesting populations which still have their traditions dating from centuries.

A real adventure, to discover a country in which tourism doesn't exist, known as one of the most fascinating of West Africa, that is today beginning to open the doors to travellers. The treasures of Guinea are both natural and cultural: wide virgin forests, mountains from which are born the big river Niger' springs, savannas inhabited by populations which still maintain their traditions and animistic ceremonie.

The adventure starts in Mali, with two days along the rNiger, the griots' river, but is mostly focused in Guinea Conakry, to discover Bassari animist traditions, to meet Peul of Fouta Djalon and Tomà near the border with Sierra Leone and Liberia. We will make the experience of liane bridge, then along the Samory trail and finally in Guinea Bissau three days of navigation among Bijagos archipel.

For African lovers, for those who know Africa pretty well and want to discover a new aspect, for those who wish to plunge in a magic athmosphere of warmth, colour, life. This expedition in Guinea is an extraordinary occasion to know a part of Africa where people are real, genuine, spontaneous, ready to welcome foreigners as guests.
