Bafatá, Guinea-Bissau
The fabled birthplace of the celebrated independence revolutionary Abel Djassi, little Bafatá is a riverside town with panache.
Proud of its political traditions and beautifully imbued with green areas, swaying palm trees and the meanders where the Geba joins the Colufe, it’s a place to come and sample the laid-back bucolic vibes of one of the country’s provincial hotspots.
But that’s not it, because Bafatá is also surrounded by the rolling gallery jungles that occupy the heart of the nation; the home of crocs, interesting West African mammals, rare monkeys and more.
