- By 5place/7place from Dalaba for 100,000 GFr, which takes 1-1.5 hours.
Get around
[edit]See
[edit]- See waterfalls:
- Voile de la Mariée
- Cascade de Tabouna
Do
[edit]- Hiking:
- Hike up the Mount Gangan. In the rain-season, you might have to walk through water. Locals might insist that a guide is obligatory and you have to pay for them, but the truth of that statement has not been double-checked.
Buy
[edit]There is a large market, hard to miss when wandering across the town. You can buy all kinds of locally produced goods, for example the local honey with a very unique taste. Ask local people for whatever you need.
There is a 1 Vista GUI bank.You can withdraw money here without a fee for visa cards. Societe Generale takes a fee of 6,900 GFr.

[edit]- 1 Les Eaux de Kilissi. Lovely nature resort located at a river, but quite far from town (15km, 50000 GNF by mototaxi). Its location on Google maps is totally wrong. The restaurant is located on the riverbanks close to a small waterfall. Just 3 minutes away is another huge and wonderful waterfall. Rooms are large and with bathroom, a bit gloomy though. 300000 GNF with breakfast included, but apparently they take a little bit more from fote people (whites).
- 2 Chez BZ. A bit outside of Kindia, within the village Friguiagbe. ~10,000 GFr to Kindia center by MotoTaxi, 15,000 GFr for two people on one moto. There is a restaurant, a bar with a table football and a nice swimming pool. 250,000 GFr for a double room, 50,000 for breakfast.
