Outamba Kilimi National Park, Sierra Leone's first national park, offers a unique safari experience with diverse ecosystems from savanna to rainforest. Accessibility is challenging, requiring 4x4 vehicles and river crossings. Guided tours are highly recommended due to the park's remoteness and the need for experienced trackers to spot wildlife. The dry season (November to April) is ideal for visiting, as roads become impassable during the rainy season. Costs vary depending on the tour operator and duration, but expect to pay for park entrance fees, guide services, and transportation. A typical visit lasts several days to fully explore both the Outamba and Kilimi sections. Wildlife sightings may include elephants, chimpanzees, various monkey species, and numerous bird species, though wildlife populations have been affected by poaching and habitat loss.
