Visiting Sierra Leone

The name, Sierra Leone dates back to 1462, when a Portuguese explorer sailed down the coast of West Africa. There seems some dispute whether it was the shape or climatic conditions that influenced Pedro da Cintra to come up with "Sierra Lyoa" meaning Lion Mountains.

Some say the coastal regions looked like "lion’s teeth". Others suggest he thought the thunderstorms over the mountainous peninsula sounded like the roar of a lion.

Sierra Leone is a beautiful country and has so much to offer.
