About Eastern
The Eastern Province of Sierra Leone is a treasure trove of natural beauty and cultural richness. Home to the lush Gola Rainforest National Park, this region is a haven for eco-tourists and wildlife enthusiasts. The park is one of the last remaining tracts of Upper Guinean rainforest, teeming with rare species like pygmy hippos and forest elephants. The province also boasts the scenic Kangari Hills, perfect for hiking and birdwatching. Local villages offer a glimpse into traditional Temne and Mende cultures, with vibrant markets and warm hospitality. The region's rivers, such as the Moa and Sewa, provide opportunities for fishing and canoeing, while the annual Bintumani Festival celebrates the area's heritage with music, dance, and storytelling.
