Getting there

Car

If you are driving from the center of Bo, start by heading south on Main Street towards the Bo-Kenema Highway (A2). Continue on A2 for approximately 10 kilometers. Keep an eye out for signs indicating Sierra Leone River or nearby landmarks. Once you reach the junction leading towards the river, turn left onto the unpaved road that leads directly to the riverbank. The road can be rough, so drive carefully. Parking is available near the river.

Public Transportation (Taxi)

From the center of Bo, you can take a shared taxi (commonly known as 'poda poda') towards Kenema. Make sure to inform the driver you want to stop at the junction for Sierra Leone River. The fare should be around 5,000 Leones. Once you reach the junction, you might need to walk a short distance (about 1 km) to reach the riverbank. Ask locals for directions if you are unsure.

Motorbike Taxi

For a quicker option, consider hiring a motorbike taxi (okada) from the center of Bo. Negotiate the fare before starting your journey, which should cost around 10,000 Leones. The rider will take you directly to the riverbank, navigating through local routes. This is a more exhilarating way to travel, but make sure to wear a helmet and hold on tight!

Walking

If you're feeling adventurous and are already near the river, you can walk to Sierra Leone River. Start at the main market square in Bo and head south towards the Bo-Kenema Highway. Follow the road signs directing you to the river. It's about a 3 km walk, which will take approximately 40 minutes. Be mindful of the traffic and watch out for local wildlife along the way.
