Sierra Leone: soggiorni in alloggi che accettano animali domestici

Ann Marie’s home is beautiful! It truly feels like a home. Her staff are very kind and helpful. The home is clean(our cleaner came every day) and tidy. Unfortunately due to the country wide power issue, it was difficult for us to get comfortable as the home rarely had power. There is a generator, but fuel is the responsibility of the guest and currently fuel is quite pricey, and this information was not disclosed in advance. Due to this power inconsistency it was extremely difficult for me to work(remotely) since the WiFi would not work without power. So, we decided it would be best to move to a place with 24/7 generator access with Inverter to ensure 24 hour power. However it is not the hosts fault that the entire country does not have reliable power. She did her best to make our stay as comfortable as possible. She was responsive to our issues, professional, and kind. Under normal circumstances, this would be 5 star stay! I would definitely stay here again.

Tasso Island is a special place- a walkable mangrove ecosystem with small villages struggling to survive. Tasso Ecolodge is simple and visionary, aiming to support local projects with the income from the lodge. While there is a periodic boat from Freetown or Lungi for locals, the Ecolodge offers chartered boat transportation that makes more sense, if you can afford it. Food offered at the lodge is extremely limited, like fried bony fish and rice, so bring snacks that don't need a fridge. The guides at the lodge can take you to historic Bunthe Island to witness the ghosts of the Door of No Return, surrounded by epic trees that were the first witnesses. Bring a printed guide to the flora and fauna as there is not a guide on site who understands the ecosystem. We took the kayak out every day and loved the beauty and freedom. Internet is virtually nonexistent, which can be a welcome respite as long as you are prepared. Be prepared for lots of mud.

My stay at Michael & Jesi's place was superb, very highly recommendedand I would come back any time! Jesi was around during my stay and was a wonderful and very helpful host. She picked me up from the watertaxi and gave me a lift upon return. She was always available for questions and did her very best to accommodate me despite the constant blackouts. The house is located just opposite the beach which is ideal for walks and runs. Also easily reachable with public transport. The flat itself was spaceious and very clean and was cleaned during my stay. The beds are comfortable (something to highlight in Sierra Leone!) and the bedrooms have AC. The kitchen was also nicely equipped. The compound is guarded 24/7 and I felt very safe there.
