Guinea

Guinea is a West African country with a green and hilly interior, including the Fouta Djallon highlands, which serve as the source of several major West African rivers. The Mandinka and Fula cultures shape a musical and craft tradition of real depth, and the people have a reputation for directness and warmth. It remains well off the tourist trail, suiting experienced travellers who approach it with patience and genuine curiosity.

Has the world's largest bauxite reserves — the raw material for aluminium — yet remains one of the poorest.
Despite massive mineral wealth, the country has experienced more coups than democratic transitions.
