This mountain town in northern Sierra Leone, Kabala serves as the capital of Koinadugu District and sits in a rural landscape ringed by hills, with water within walking distance. One of the most ethnically diverse towns in the country, it draws together Kuranko, Mandingo, Yalunka, Limba, and Fula communities, with Krio widely spoken across all groups. The town functions primarily as an agricultural centre near Sierra Leone's border with Guinea.
