Sierra Leone Satellite Map
From savannah to rainforests, Sierra Leone has a diverse mix of landscapes. One of the major characteristics of Sierra Leone is its rainfall. Overall, it’s one of the wettest countries in Western Africa, specifically along the coastal regions. But on the other hand, Sierra Leone also receives sand and dust storms from the blowing Sahara wind. The country occupies a total area of 71,740 square kilometers (27,699 sq mi). In comparison, it’s larger than Togo but smaller than Benin. It lies between latitudes 7° and 10°N so the climate is tropical with a distinct rainy and dry season.
