Mount Bintumani, also known as Loma Mansa, is the highest peak in Sierra Leone, offering challenging but rewarding hiking experiences. Accessibility can be difficult due to the rugged terrain, and a guided visit is highly recommended, if not essential, for safety and navigation. The best time to visit is during the dry season (November to April) to avoid heavy rains and muddy trails. The cost can vary greatly depending on the guide, transportation, and duration of the trek, but expect to budget for several days. A typical visit to the summit and back can take 2-4 days, requiring camping gear and proper preparation. Solo hikes are strongly discouraged due to the remote location and potential dangers.
