Thomas, West Africa Discovery's CEO, will be travelling to Sierra Leone for a research project he is conducting for his MSc in Responsible Tourism Management. As part of his travels, he wants to involve all of you in his journey of discovery (itinerary, experiences, photos, facts, stories, videos, etc...). To start things off, he has plotted his planned itinerary including information about the places he will visit and the things he hopes to do. Regular updates will be posted on this page to keep you involved in his journey.

We are also raising funds to buy school material for the communities Thomas is visiting. Here is a break down of the items that we will buy.

We have just received our copy of the Rough Guides First-Time Africa in which we are listed on page 405, under the 'Africa Specialist Operators' category. The entry states: "West Africa Discovery: One of the few companies specializing in West Africa , with unusual tours and a strong responsible travel ethos".

 

 

We have a selection of sustainably managed responsible tourism projects just for you to discover. Work with us to create better places to visit and better places to live in, in West Africa.

 

You can also join a community dedicated to travel in West Africa which explores the rich local heritage in a sustainable and responsible way.

Inspired by World Poetry Day, we would like to launch a West Africa Local Heritage Poetry Competition. Send us your entries to share your love for west African history, nature & culture and we will publish them on the web portal for review. Prizes to be announced. We look forward to it!

 

West Africa Poetry - some poems for inspiration

Our resident poet Daouda Fall (Dave the poet) lives in Toubab Dialaw, Senegal and has been writing poems for as long as he can remember. His mission in life is to raise awareness towards his continent of Africa and to share his passion for peace, sustainability and unity of the African peoples through the medium of his poetry. This is why he tunes in perfectly with the West Africa Discovery mission.

Roll up, roll up! Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, we have an offer that will blow your mind...

We have just been informed of an amazing offer to spend 2 weeks for the price of 1 throughout November in one of the eco-lodges we have selected as part of our mission to create a database of sustainable and responsible tours, accommodations and volunteer projects based in an amazing yet little known region of the World: West Africa.

Where is this eco-lodge you may ask? West Africa comprises 16 countries, and this country is nicknamed 'The Smiling Coast'. Have you guessed yet? ... It's the Gambia!

So if you are interested in visiting this vibrant and colourful country, and have a keen eye for a bargain, why not take up on this offer? You definitely won't be dissapointed.

For more information on this truly sustainable eco-lodge which prides itself with their local community development schemes and pioneering sustainable architecture, click here.

Fancy spending a week on a tropical beach all-expenses paid?

Ever had a dream about being part of a tribe and living the tribal life?

Interested in sustainable development technologies?

Have an interest in local heritage?

Wouldn't mind participating in the following activities: sunbathing, building, swimming, cooking, canoeing upriver, trekking, fishing, beach football, skill sharing, teaching, drumming, bonfires, and eating great seafood?

Have an urge to be the first to discover a new destination?

Want to make a difference in a country looking to change its image?
