Fouta Djallon Guinea Last Updated: 03/28/2025 |
| Fouta Djallon is a highland region in the center of Guinea, roughly corresponding with Middle Guinea, in West Africa. The Fouta has mountains and gorges carved up by rivers and towering waterfalls. There is jungle thick enough to blot out the sun, with strangler figs climbing up centuries old trees, and sweeping vistas above the tree-line offering views of the lower altitude plains that lie to the north. | |
| Known as the Water Tower of West Africa, the Fouta Djallon is home to the headwaters of the Niger, Senegal and Gambia rivers — essentially all of the great rivers of West Africa. Without the Fouta, it is hard to imagine the unique ecosystems of the Sahel and the subtropical forest regions, not to mention the widespread human settlement of West Africa that we see today. | |
