Africa's third longest river takes a crazy long route to get to the sea from its source in southern Guinea.

That is interesting. Is that part of Guinea (and the border of Sierra Leone) mountainous?
Kind of, yes. Surprisingly not that much. But enough to divert all the local water northward apparently.
What's interesting is that all the other surrounding water flows southward. Burkina Faso even used to be called Upper Volta, because of the largest river there.
Wow. Thanks for the info!
