I had not intended to travel that far south along the coast or planned to stay for 3 nights but my holiday would not have been complete without my experience on Bonthe island and my visit to Bonthe Holiday Village. The staff made me feel welcome, the food was delicious, the decor of the restaurant, lounge and bungalows simply charming. It was difficult to match their standards elsewhere. I hope the community and history continue to thrive thanks to this resort. I look forward to my next visit there. Thanks for making me feel so welcome!

To summarise tokeh sands in 1 word? "PARADISE"

Tribewanted is located in one of the most stunning locations imaginable. The welcome from the community is second-to-none and the range of activities mean there is something to appeal to everyone. I spent a month living on the beach, getting to know the villagers and fishermen, lending a hand with the projects and indulging in reading and writing in the hammocks.
The experience is incredible, and one which you will be hard-pressed to forget.

Tribewanted is an absolutely incredible experience. Its location, for one, is stunning, along a pristine stretch of coastline you WILL have to yourself (and the ocean is warm and swimmer-friendly). The food is local and delicious, and there's a LOT of it. The prices are reasonable, once you're there--the rooms themselves are a bit pricey, but meals are included and at least you know the money is supporting the local community. And being awesomely eco-friendly (there are solar panels, compost toilets, bucket showers, an organic garden) doesn't come cheap to anyone.

But the best thing about Tribewanted is the cultural interaction: TW makes Sierra Leonean culture eminently accessible to anyone who's interested in it. You live among the villagers, and you'll probably know them all by the end of your stay. If you choose, you can build alongside the builders, cook with the cooks, shop the local market with the TW kitchen manager, teach the village kids, quiz everyone you meet on their backgrounds or practice your Krio language skills--all of those experiences are free, and invaluable, in my opinion. (For a small fee you can also hike with a local guide, fish with a fisherman, etc.)

After traveling a bit around Sierra Leone, my husband and I can only hope that TW's model will represent the future of tourism in SL: community-based, well run, making good use of the country's enviable natural resources in a sustainable way (definitely a worry given the destruction of the land we saw elsewhere). It's encouraging, to say the least. Highly recommended!

Its the best to feel free, jungle movement, relax down the beach watch sunset or visit
local people get some nice palm wine.

I went with a group last month and we all had an excellent time at Tacaguma. It was beautiful and the service was outstanding. The work they are doing is truly commendable. Highly recommend a visit.

Clean, comfortable rooms with amazing scenic views. The sanctuary itself is a fascinating tour and experience. The staff was extremely helpful andd pleasant. Highly recommended.

You have got to do this trip and stay ... its stunning, another stunning venue, scenery, and people of SL. The rooms are clean and basic - but hey - this is not a 5 star hotel, its a beach hut - and if you are going to one of the most stunning beaches in the world to sit in your room - then don't bother to go here... you wont enjoy it. But if its beautiful beaches, a back drop of unspoilt jungle, and basic but well served menu .. then head there for a least a couple of nights. Also this is a community run, community funded project, and you have the smug satisfaction that all the profit from your money is going to educate and improve a large local community.

I put down 4 as value here - as the real value of this is the contribution back to the sanctuary ad the higher cost of the stay is as much part of mutual benefit as it is a very clean, beautiful, and relaxing place. if you go to FT - this is a must visit.

One of the worst hotels we have ever stayed in. Looks as if it has been abandoned. Little furniture in public areas, no staff, no evidence of anywhere to get food or drink but mightily expensive. Hostel accommodation which was worth $20 per night but we were charged 115$. An absolute rip-off.
