Bunce Island | Sierra Leone National Tourist Board

Описание: Visit the remains of the largest slave fort in Sierra Leone, where thousands of enslaved Africans saw their homeland for the last time before being shipped off to the Americas. See how nature is slowly reclaiming what men built, with vegetation covering the ruins of buildings. Most people visit as part of guided tours from Freetown. Visitors are taken around the abandoned Slava castle, slowly being taken over once again by the rainforest. Tours included the castle, workers accommodation and spaces where captive Africans were being held, and the cemetery, where only two out of the thousands of Africans that died there are buried. Tours also include the Door of No Return, where 30,000 people walked through before leaving their Motherland forever. Tours last a couple of hours and are led by knowledgeable guides. They are an immensely moving experience, especially for people of African descent.
