Dan has been making moves this month and having tons of new
adventures! Read up on another of his latest journeys below:
Guinea, as far as I can tell, is a land made for waterfalls.
With huge rocky mountains, immense rainfall (it’s capital Conakry is second in
wordwide rainfall only to the capital of neighboring Sierra Leon) and the
beginnings of all the mighty rivers of West Africa. Virtually every valley
contains waterfalls impressive enough that anywhere else in the world there
would be viewing platforms, safety fences and hordes of tourists. Here in
Guinea, there is only very narrow jungle/mountain tracks and endless
wilderness, occasionally populated by a small village of friendly people.
Safety fences are nowhere to be seen, and I love hanging my toes over the edge
I make it a mission to visit
ever more remote falls, which offer great places to camp for free, and a chance
to add some pinstripes to the side of the Jeep on the narrow tracks. Sitting at
a roadside restaurant eating the now staple of “rice with sauce”, I’m a little
shocked to see kids playing with an empty cardboard box with “Gift of Canada”
printed on the side. Nobody here can read English, so they have no idea what it
says. I gather the contents of the box have been used in the village.
