Countries that border Sierra Leone

2 land neighbours: Guinea and Liberia. Each one has a page of its own.

Why this one is hard

2 neighbours to keep in the right order.

40 countries in Africa have more than its 2 land borders; it is the same as Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Eswatini and Tunisia. Its two neighbours border each other as well, which is what turns a list into a knot. Guinea is the most connected of them, with 6 land borders of its own. Both of them are on the Africa map with Sierra Leone, and on the world map with everyone else.
