7-Day Adventure for Two

Step into the soul of Sierra Leone with an extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

This exclusive 7-day journey takes you deep into the heart of conservation at Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary, where you’ll stay nestled in eco-lodges amidst the rainforest. You'll explore our field projects in the remote and breathtaking Loma Mountains National Park—and gain a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the frontline of wildlife protection.

Enjoy a private, sit-down dinner with Tacugama’s founder, and travel in the company of award-winning photographer Renato Granieri, acclaimed National Geographic Traveller Grand Prize Winner 2023 & 2018, as he captures the untamed beauty of Sierra Leone through his lens.

Limited spaces. Unlimited impact. Walk the path of purpose—only with Tacugama.

Package is for two adults. Includes accommodation for six nights, transport to and from Loma Mountains National Park from Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary, and food at the private, sit-down dinner with Tacugama’s founder at the Sanctuary. All other expenses are not included (for example, flights, visas, transfers, travel insurance, beverages, food (except for the private, sit-down dinner with Tacugama’s founder)). All accommodation provided by Tacugama. Itinerary is subject to change in Tacugama’s sole discretion. FoT and Tacugama reserve the right to withdraw the package at any time in their sole discretion.
