Lac de Samaya

Lake Samaya extends beneath Mount Gangan cliffs, forming multiple water arms that connect scattered villages across the Kindia region.

The dam lake, constructed in the 1980s, created a water barrier that separated numerous villages, leading to new transportation patterns in the region.

Every Sunday, villagers from surrounding areas gather at Samaya market to sell their weekly harvests, including fruits and vegetables transported by colorful canoes.

Visitors can reach the lake by traveling one hour from Friguiagbé, starting at the Total station, with 4x4 vehicles recommended due to road conditions.

The lake features a hidden colonial agronomic base within a canyon, while two monasteries, including one run by Benedictine nuns, offer accommodation to travelers.
