Have you ever considered Sierra Leone for a bird watching expedition? Our country is generally better known for chimpanzees, our national animal, but it is also home to a variety of birds, including 14 species endemic to West Africa. There are plenty of destinations where you can see birds in Sierra Leone ? even hiking on Leicester Peak or chilling on a beach in the Freetown Peninsula may give you the opportunity to spot some winged species. However, the best birdwatching opportunities in Sierra Leone can be found in the country?s national parks and reserves, such as Gola, Kambui Hills, and Kangari Hills Forest Reserve. Wildlife in Sierra Leone is often shy, but birds can be spotted quite easily ? and with over 600 bird species, you?ll be spoilt for choice.
