Guinea

Guinea occupies a humid stretch of West Africa where highland plateaus drop sharply toward mangrove-fringed coasts and the headwaters of several major rivers — including the Niger and Senegal — trace their origins. The country's rhythms are shaped by subsistence farming, a vibrant Susu and Malinké cultural exchange, and the red-laterite dust that colours the dry-season air.

About Guinea

Overview

Located on the Atlantic coast of West Africa, Guinea borders Sierra Leone, Liberia, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Senegal, and Guinea-Bissau. The capital, Conakry, sits on the Kaloum Peninsula. French is the official language and the Guinean franc is the currency. Four distinct geographic zones — Lower Guinea's coast, the Fouta Djallon highlands, Upper Guinea's savanna, and the Forest Region — give the country unusual ecological range for its size.
