The visa for Bissau is available in Ziguinchor on the spot for 5,000CFA. Bissau is beautiful, the roads are OK. There is almost no "tourist" infrastructure so half the fun is finding it out yourself.
Try Cacheu (old fort) Boloma island, Xitole, Catio ande the Bijapos Islands. It is actually the scenery, the various cultures and the socio-history that are the most interesting in this country. |
If you want to go to the islands then leave your car with Andreas Goll (aka. "Andre" or "Andre di Cabana") a 100%reliable German guy, on the entrance to Bissau on the highway opposite the "Lennox"(?) service station, about 2 km away from the airport, direction city centre, very easy to find, also does camping.
Enjoy Bissau, there is no other country in the area like it.
