Getting to Sierra Leone
...
... By Air
 The main option of getting to Sierra Leone is by air and land but you can also get there by sea.
Direct flights
from Europe are available from London and Brussels through Astraeus
Airlines, BMI and SN Brussels. Sierra Leone lies in the same time zone as Europe and only
6 ½ flying hours direct from London and Paris.
Therefore there is no jet lag.
Kenya Airways also fly from Nairobi via Accra. Kenya Airways operates in partnership with KLM which opens up more options for connecting flights. Other regional flights include, Paramount Airlines (Guinea), Slok (Banjul, Monrovia) and Bellview Nigeria (Lagos, Banjul, Accra).
All international flights arrive at Freetown International Airport, Lungi.

 The airport and mainland Freetown is separated by the Sierra Leone River and the main way of getting to Freetown at this moment is with the Ferry or hovercraft. You could drive through Port Loko but this makes more sense if you're not heading for Freetown.
... By land
Currently Sierra Leone can be accessed by road from Guinea(Conakry) and Liberia.
Special permits are required if transiting the border with
a private vehicle. Private taxis, buses and trucks commute
daily to and from Conakry/Freetown.
... By Sea
Sierra Leone has the 3rd largest
natural harbour in the world and used to service cruise ships. Cargo and Passenger ships
berth at the Queen Elizabeth II quay, while some passenger/Cargo
and private crafts can land at the Government Wharf in central
Freetown, arriving most times from Conakry and Banjul. Enquiries
should be made to Cargo Shipping Agencies.
