Transportation from Freetown International Airport to the City Center
Freetown is the capital of Sierra Leone in West Africa, which is the dream of many travelers. Freetown, which has a world-renowned natural harbor, is a very impressive destination with its white beaches such as Lumley Beach and Lakka Beach, seafood-oriented cuisine, tropical climate and unique culture. Did you know that this city has the second largest chimpanzee population in the world?
Freetown is located on a peninsula located on the left bank of the Sierra Leone River and has the best natural harbor on the west coast of Africa. Freetown Airport, or locally known as Lungi International Airport, is the only international airport in Sierra Leone. The Sierra Leone River separates the city of Freetown from the airport, 21 km from the city.
Access from the airport to Freetown is limited to a ferry crossing the river and a road that takes 4-6 hours, which is extremely dangerous at night. The ferry is the most economical and fast option, but you may have to wait in long queues to get on the ferry. In addition, they can take more passengers than necessary and crimes can be committed on these boats.
For this reason, it is recommended not to take the ferry alone or on foot. There are several ferry companies crossing the river, but during the rainy season between May and October, delays are very likely. The weather is sunny for the rest of the year and the views are truly magnificent.
Tagrin Pier, where ferries depart, is a 15-minute drive from Lungi Airport and is a pier frequented by locals heading to Freetown's city centre. The ferry you will take from here goes to Kissy Ferry Pier, east of Freetown, and the journey takes about an hour. From there, it can take a long time to get to Aberdeen, the city centre, due to traffic.
There is a bus that takes passengers from the airport and crosses the ferry to Rawdon Street in central Freetown, but it can sometimes take longer than 8 hours.
There are also private boats that cross the river, but they are not very safe either.
Especially avoid using fishing boats. Sea Coach Express is a reliable transfer company and you can go to Aberdeen, the center of Freetown, from the Mahera Hotel Pier near the airport in about 20 minutes. But if you don't want to get wet, you should mention that you want a big boat at the time of booking.
In addition, Sea Bird Express is another reliable private transfer company. Apart from these, you can also use water taxis from the airport to the city.
If you have a flight that lands at Freetown Airport at night, it is best to wait for the morning to arrive and go to the city center. There are some hotels and hostels near Freetown Airport, but it's a good idea to book in advance as they fill up very quickly.
It is also possible to go to the city center from Freetown Airport by road. The road to the city, passing through Port Loko at the point where the river starts, can take 4-5 hours depending on the traffic and road condition. Although there are car rental companies at the airport, cars are not always available, so booking a private transfer vehicle in advance is the safest method.
