Getting there

Car

From Port Loko Town, head south on the main road towards Freetown. Continue for approximately 20 kilometers until you reach the junction at the village of Magbema. Turn left onto the road marked for Mambo Waterfalls. Follow this road for another 10 kilometers. You may need to navigate through some smaller roads, which may require a 4x4 vehicle depending on the weather conditions. The waterfall is located near a small hiking area and is accessible by a short walk from the parking area.

Public Transportation

Catch a 'poda poda' (shared minibus) from Port Loko Town heading towards Freetown. Inform the driver you want to stop at Magbema. The fare is usually around 5,000 Leones. Once at Magbema, you will need to hire a bike (approximately 10,000 Leones) or take a shared bike ride to the turn-off for Mambo Waterfalls. From the bike drop-off point, it’s about a 10-minute walk to the waterfalls. Be sure to ask for directions if you're unsure!

Walking

If you are already in the Magbema area, you can walk towards the Mambo Waterfalls trailhead. It is about a 30-minute walk from the village, primarily taking the footpath that leads south from the main road. Make sure to carry water and wear comfortable shoes, as the path can be uneven.
