Discover the Majestic Mambo Waterfalls: A Natural Paradise

Getting There

• Walking

  Start at the center of Freetown, for example at the Cotton Tree. From there, head east on Siaka Stevens Street. Continue straight until you reach the junction with State Avenue, then turn left onto State Avenue. Follow State Avenue until you reach the end of the road, where it meets the main road to Lumley Beach. Cross the road and continue straight to reach the Lumley area. Once in Lumley, you can ask locals for directions towards Mambo Waterfalls. They will guide you toward the Unnamed Road where the waterfalls are located, approximately a 30-minute walk from Lumley Beach.

• Bicycle

  If you have access to a bicycle, start from the central market area in Freetown. Head towards Siaka Stevens Street and follow the same route as if walking. You can cycle along State Avenue and then take the main road towards Lumley Beach. Once you reach Lumley, you can navigate to Mambo Waterfalls by following the directions given by locals, as the area is well known to residents. The bike ride will take approximately 20-30 minutes more than walking, depending on your speed.

• Public Transport (Taxi)

  From a central location such as the Cotton Tree, look for shared taxis (often called 'poda podas') heading towards Lumley Beach. Inform the driver that you want to go to Mambo Waterfalls. They will drop you off at a point close to the Unnamed Road where the waterfalls are located. From there, you may need to walk approximately 15-20 minutes to reach the waterfalls, following the directions given by the driver or locals.
