Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
From John Obey Beach, head northeast on the main road towards Freetown. Continue for about 25 kilometers until you reach the junction with the main road that leads into Freetown. Follow the signs to Freetown and merge onto the road. Continue straight until you reach the CQPG+F3C area, where Resevoir is located. There is no parking facility at the reservoir, so plan accordingly to park nearby and walk to the site.
Public Transportation
To reach Resevoir from John Obey Beach using public transportation, find a local taxi (often referred to as a 'poda poda') that heads towards Freetown. The fare should be around 5,000 SLL (Sierra Leonean Leones). Ask the driver to drop you off at the junction leading into Freetown. From there, you can catch another taxi or motorbike to CQPG+F3C. Be prepared for an additional fare of about 2,000 SLL for this short ride. Once you arrive, you may need to walk a short distance to the reservoir itself.
Walking
If you're already in the vicinity of CQPG+F3C, you can simply walk to Resevoir. From the nearest landmark or point of interest, head towards the coordinates (latitude: 8.4361901, longitude: -13.2248489). The area is relatively accessible on foot, but ensure you stay on well-trodden paths.
