What I want to say is, this is not a good travelling country but if any of you would like to try then here are some infos, to me I have been to Freetown once in 1998.

Although the security situation in Freetown has improved somewhat, travel outside the capital is still very dangerous due to rebel military groups that have not been disarmed or demobilized

Sierra Leone is a developing country that has few facilities for tourism and poses considerable risks for travelers

While peacekeeping forces control the capital city of Freetown and major cities in the southern areas of the country, areas outside the cities remain subject to attacks by deposed military and rebel forces. Travel outside Freetown is extremely hazardous. Rebels and rogue military have taken international workers and UN peacekeeping forces hostage. Because many Sierra Leoneans do not speak English, it can be difficult for a foreigner to communicate his or her identity. Travelers may also encounter difficulties at the numerous roadblocks and checkpoints in and outside Freetown
