Guinea

By AirGetting Around by Air

Guinee Airlines operates internal services to some of the main towns, such as Boké, Conakry, Labé, Kankan, Kissidougou, Koundarg and Siguiri. Schedules are erratic.

By TrainGetting Around by Rail

Despite the existence of rail lines and plans to upgrade them, there are currently no rail services in Guinea.

By CarGetting Around by Road

Traffic drives on the right. The roads between Conakry (via Kindia) and Kissidougou and from Boké to Kamsar are both paved. However, many roads are in poor condition and the minor roads are often overgrown with bush. Livestock and pedestrians create road hazards, so extra caution is to be taken while driving at night. Travel by road is often impossible in the rainy season (June to November). In an effort to counter urban crime, the Guinean government maintains roadblocks from 2200-0600.

Bus: The government bus company, SOGETRAG, operates services from Conakry to most other towns.

Taxi: These are available, although fares should be negotiated in advance. Bush taxis usually cover smaller distances than buses and can take up to seven passengers.

UrbanGetting Around Towns and Cities

Guinea has no public transport but there are local vans which pick people up along many routes. Buses and taxis operate cheaply within Conakry, but are poorly maintained and tend to be overcrowded.
