BEACH EXTENSION
The Sierra Leone Marathon and Cycle Challenge package covers the three to five nights you’ll spend with the team in Makeni. But a visit to Sierra Leone just isn’t complete without a trip to its world-famous beaches. We strongly recommend runners extend their stay for one or two nights and join us at Tokeh beach for a celebratory beach barbecue (on us!). This is an opportunity to reflect on your experience and share a few drinks with new friends. We recommend booking the beach extension early so as to avoid disappointment – spaces are limited and rooms go fast!
Standard £110 per room per night
A simple, yet beautiful resort overlooking the beach, with private double rooms, electricity, running water and air conditioning between the hours of 7pm-7am. Breakfast is included, other meals and drinks need to be purchased separately.
Premium - £175 per room per night
A premium beach resort with fantastic facilities, swimming pool, restaurant and bar featuring fresh local and international cuisine. There is electricity, running water and air conditioning. Breakfast is included, other meals and drinks need to be purchased separately. The premium package is the most comfortable package option.
Lungi airport hotel
£100 per room per night
If you need to stay at the airport hotel (before or after) the SLM package - please select the number of nights required and state the date required, along with other guest names in the notes to organiser section - or contact us direct. Please note that this add on option needs to be booked in advance to ensure availability and is based on two people sharing a room with a double bed.
Transport Upgrade
£350 per person
If you would like to upgrade and have access to a 4x4 for the duration of your trip, shared with other passengers. By selecting this add on you will have your own private vehicle to shuttle you and 3 other passengers to/from the airport, around Makeni and for the rural school visits. This is a much more comfortable and convenient way of traveling around Sierra Leone. Price per person - only available for designated journeys as part of the SLM itinerary.
