Join these athletes for an animated and dynamic afternoon game at Brima Attouga Mini Stadium.

Note

Please note: Sierra Leone is a very-low-income country with very basic infrastructure, and vastly different to the western culture mentality. Local conditions may be challenging; therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique and somewhat remote destinations. Coaches, guides, equipment, and services are the best-available in the area, but may not be up to the standards of those found on other excursions. A minimal amount of walking over uneven surface, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach. Lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes, sun protection and insect repellant is recommended. Anticipate high temperatures and humidity and we recommend staying hydrated by bringing your water bottle.
