More than a half of the country is occupied by low mountains and plateaus. Thick and abundant river network of Guinea is represented by rivers flowing down from plateau to eastern plains and flowing there into Niger, and rivers flowing from the same plateau directly into the Atlantic Ocean. Rivers are navigable only in small areas. Forests cover about 60% of the country’s territory. Once-diverse forest fauna is preserved mainly on protected areas now. Elephants, leopards and chimpanzees are almost completely destroyed.
Guinea attracts tourists for its picturesque landscapes, excellent by African standards road network (particularly to the south-east) and an impressive contrast between dry northern valleys and endless jungles of the south.
Cape Verga is one of the best beach areas of the country. Absolutely deserted during the week, it turns into a beautiful bustling resort town on weekends.
