Description
This (and Belebu) is where you can visit the central section of Gola.
Basic accommodation available. At the time of our visit they were renovating so sadly no power available. Food can be ordered from a cook from the village and was super tasty.
Absolutely recommended to do the Viewpoint Hike for sunrise. On of the best rainforest views I have had in my life.
Also nice to visit the Picarthartes Colony.
Sadly they make you pay the NP entrance fee again, even if you have already payed in Sileti. They say it's another NP (Gola south vs. Gola central).
The guide and manager of the place was excellent.
We absolutely recommend a visit of Lalehun.
ttention! New prices if you want to pay in Leon. If you check the internet homepage, you should go for the prices in $ not the one in Leons. So at the end we payed: - Comunity fee: 270 Le per person - Parc fee: 270 Le per person - Guide: 113 Le for one day - Camping: 180 Le for two (50% discount, because we had our own equipment, otherwise you pay 180 Le per person) We where a little bit shocked, because we had to pay the dobble of the price we expected. So we contacted the person in charge in Kenema. They confirmed us the new prices. The prices may even change again in Fabruary. At the end, we had some discussions, but the walk to the view point was worth! We even saw Dama- Monkey and the rainforest sound with the wildlife is incredible! The teamleader of the guides and the compound explained us, where and how our money is going to be used, so we where more than happy to here, that this is a good and well working investigation. + the teamleader explained us, how the money is going to be spend and used for all comunities around
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
