From Freetown Airport in Lungi, we drove north-east towards the city of Makeni and then towards the Loma Mountains. The scenery on the roads was very colourful and vibrant; every few metres there was a new story to tell and time flew by. It took us the better part of a day to get to Kabala and then another couple of hours to reach the trailhead at the village of Foria.

Makeni is a large city in Sierra Leone with a population of over 100,000 and is the capital of its district.
