Sierra Leone is made up of an astonishing diversity of ethnic groups, considering the size of the country. This wide range of nationalities contributes to a growing economy. Sierra Leoneans have a unique blend of cultural traditions. They are vibrant, exuberant and expressive people and their cultural values, traditions, and belief systems are widely practiced and respected.

A variety of food, flamboyant clothing, jewelry, hand-made crafts, lively festivals, and the performing arts are expressions of this colorful society. Tourists never know what they might come across! Around the next corner, there could be a national cultural show where traditional dancers gyrate and revel to the drums and music.

The people of Sierra Leone are well known for their friendliness and hospitality and life is taken at a very relaxed pace.
