I spent a month exploring the country Guinea last year and absolutely loved it. Extremely friendly people, amazing landscapes and by far the best hiking in West Africa. Tons of waterfalls that make your jaw drop, tons of culture and extremely cheap. I loved that country!
Since Ebola virtually no tourists go there, and Lonely Planet does not even cover it due to "a general lack of interest" ! HA. They could not be more wrong.

- jpatokal 9y agoLonely Planet does cover Guinea? https://www.lonelyplanet.com/guinea https://www.lonelyplanet.com/guinea That said, they used to pride themselves on covering the entire world, including countries that weren't really commercially viable, but with the decimation of printed guidebook sales they've been pulling back for quite some time. IIRC the first place to get the axe was Micronesia, which gets next to no tourists, completely lacks the beaches that are the main driver of Pacific island tourism, and is frightfully expensive to get to and travel in. (Source: I used to work there, but it's been a few years.)
