Tucked away about 300 km north of Freetown lies Outamba‑Kilimi National Park, Sierra Leone’s first national park and a true sanctuary for wildlife, culture, and unfiltered adventure. For diaspora reconnecting with their roots, international travelers, and adventure-loving retirees, this is an essential destination—especially when experienced with trusted services like homestay, airport pickup, guide services, forex support, and business consultancy from Globe2Me.

🦁 Wildlife & Wilderness: A Rare Encounter

Outamba‑Kilimi delivers unforgettable wildlife experiences:

Primate spotting: See chimpanzees, sooty mangabeys, and colobus monkeys.

Iconic species: Hippos, pygmy hippos, forest elephants, even leopards roam here (wondrousdrifter.com, thedigitalglobetrotter.com).

Birdlife galore: Over 150 bird species including rare migrants like the Pallid Harrier .

🚣 Seamless Safari: Logistics Made Easy

Airport pickup & road transport are essential. Start with Globe2Me–book your Freetown homestay, get an easy airport pickup to Lungi, then head north via Makeni and Kamakwie. It's a full‑service logistics chain—no stress, all adventure.

Once there:

Launch into canoe safaris on the Kabba River at dawn and dusk—hippo sightings are almost guaranteed .

Explore on guided nature treks through savanna, forest, and hills—ideal for spotting wildlife and hidden waterfalls .

Keep your Forex services handy: there are no ATMs in the park; Globe2Me sets you up before arrival for smooth, secure cash handling.

🛖 Stay & Support: Local Homestays & Cultural Immersion

Instead of hotels, stay in village homestays, run by Susu families in buffer-zone villages—immersive, authentic, supportive of local community-based tourism programs (blog.asaptickets.com). You'll wake to fresh local meals, practice Krio, and truly connect with Sierra Leone’s cultural heartbeat. Globe2Me helps match you to vetted hosts offering homestay or B&B stays near the park.
