How to Find Cheap Hotels in Sierra Leone. After a decade of civil war, Sierra Leone is struggling to recreate itself. Adventurous adult visitors will be rewarded with uncrowded surroundings as well as cheap accommodations, food and drink.
Fly into Freetown International Airport in Lungi from London, Brussels or Nairobi.
Secure transportation across the Sierra Leone River into Freetown. Helicopters, ferries and hovercraft cross the river, but you'll have to make a choice between reliability and affordability. Helicopters are the most expensive mode but also far more reliable than rental cars and the unsafe, ill-maintained roads into Freetown.
Stick to the Freetown area, where cheap accommodations are abundant. Many guest rooms are available starting at $40.
Check out the casino hotels in the Aberdeen section of Freetown. The casino accommodations are in somewhat better condition and remain affordable, with rooms starting in the mid-$70s.
Be sure to ask for the amenities you require, even if they seem common-sense. This includes air conditioning and running water.
Visit the native marketplaces in the center of Freetown to buy jewelry, baskets and carpets.
Learn about the history of Sierra Leone and its strong ties to the United States by visiting Bunce Island.
Support Sierra Leone's preservation attempts with a trip to the Tacugama Chimp Sanctuary.
Take a day trip to the country's white-sand beaches, only 20 miles or so from Freetown.
