Worth knowing about Bo
- Bo has an airport with an IATA code, KBS, but it is no longer in regular use. Arrival means the road from Freetown, roughly 250 km, or the 64 km hop from Kenema.
- The Sierra Leone Government Railway that made Bo a town in 1889 closed in 1974 and nothing replaced it, so there is no rail option in or out.
- The country's only international airport is at Lungi, across an estuary from Freetown, so a trip to Bo starts with a water taxi or ferry crossing before the road journey even begins.
