Makeni

The largest city in Sierra Leone's Northern Province, Makeni serves as the economic hub of the region and is home to the University of Makeni, the country's largest private university. Set in mountain terrain in Bombali District, the city sits a long drive east of Freetown and has enough independent-traveller infrastructure to warrant its own Wikivoyage entry.
