What is Sierra Leone known for
Sierra Leone, a country in West Africa, has a special significance in the history of the transatlantic slave trade as the departure point for thousands of west African captives. The capital, Freetown, was founded as a home for repatriated former slaves in 1787. The country is also rich in diamonds and other minerals.

What is the official language of Sierra Leone
English is the official language of Sierra Leone. Krio is the de facto national language in the country and a lingua franca spoken widely across the country. It is the Creole language based on English. It is the mother tongue of 10.5% of the residents but is spoken by 97% of the population.
What should you wear while in Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone is fairly conservative, so while shorts and flip-flops are fine at the beach, it's best to wear trousers or skirts in the city and upcountry. Bring some smart outfits if you plan to sample some of Freetown's swisher restaurants or take in the local club scene.
