Workation in Koidu: the essentials

Inland in eastern Sierra Leone, Koidu, also known as Sefadu, is the capital of Kono District and a centre of the country's diamond trade. About 128,000 people were counted here in 2015. Two of the world's ten largest rough diamonds came from the Woyie River, and diamond wealth made the district a focus of fighting in the 1991 to 2002 civil war, when the town was badly damaged. Mining still marks the land around it. There is little for visitors, and the international airport at Lungi is about 300 km away.
