Mount Tekoulo from République de Guinée



Postcard
The Fouta Djallon region in Guinea is called the Switzerland of Africa, with its lofty mountains and high plateaus, plus a temperate climate. The highest peaks are Mount Loura at Mali Ville (1515 m) and Mount Tinka near Dalaba (1425m). The highest mountain in Guinea is Mount Nimba (1752 m).

They also call it the Water Tower of Western Africa because many rivers take their origin (River Gambie, Senegal, Niger, etc.) from it.
