Lamin Sillah aka 'Tanco VSL'

Lungi Operations Officer

Lamin is in charge of all VSL operations at the airport and has been doing this for over 10 years. He is experienced, pleasant and professional. He is also known as “Tanco VSL” and meets our guests on arrival.

Book in advance

We recommend booking the boat transfers in advance to avoid hawkers. The tickets do not cost extra. Lamin, our staff at the airport will have a sign with your name and your tickets waiting for you. He also helps with immediate requirements such as currency exchange or mobile sim cards.

Onward transfer to your hotel

Do you need to be picked up and transfered to your hotel on arrival? Select the “Pick up” option when booking and we will send a private vehicle to transfer you to your hotel.

Our happy clients

These guys are fantastic. Responsive, professional, very helpful with visa and immigration issues. Will absolutely use again, saved many hours of bouncing back and forth between offices for a residency permit. Special shout-out to Amadu who was great to work with!

So much easier and far cheaper than having to go to the Embassy - I can't imagine why anyone would not use VSL.

I had a great time visiting Sierra Leone to take part in the Street Child Half Marathon. The visa process was easy and I was greeted with friendliness and hospitality by all I met. Highly recommend a visit to Sierra Leone!
