Dalaba

This compact town in Guinea's Fouta Djalon highlands, Dalaba sits in mountain terrain that has earned it the informal nickname "the Switzerland of West Africa." It lies within the Mamou region, a short drive from water, and draws independent travellers looking for highland scenery well away from the capital Conakry.
