Guinea-Bissau Discovery
Discover tiny Guinea-Bissau, one of Africa's least visited nations. Travel to the stunning Bijagos Islands, one of the most traditional regions of the continent, to learn about ancient ways, look for rare saltwater hippos, and watch turtles lay their eggs on the beach. On the mainland, this group tour will visit the 'ghost town' of Bolama and enjoy the fading colonial grandeur of Bissau. Africa at its very best.
