At a time when international flight tickets to Ghana and other parts of the world have become increasingly expensive — coupled with additional costs such as the $25 airport security fee — many Sierra Leoneans have found travelling abroad financially challenging. However, Soumahoro Transport is stepping in with a more accessible and affordable travel solution through its expansion into Sierra Leone.
The company has introduced a new sixty-seater luxury bus service connecting Freetown to Accra, Ghana, with stops in Monrovia, Liberia, and Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The new service is expected to provide relief for travellers seeking alternative and cost-effective options for business trips, leisure travel, and regional connectivity.
Passengers can now travel comfortably across West Africa, with connections extending beyond Ghana to Lagos, Nigeria, making regional movement easier for traders, tourists, and professionals.
Kenneth Nuoho SM, Coordinator of Soumahoro Transport for Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Ghana, said that the company brings over 15 years of operational experience without any major incidents. He emphasized that Soumahoro Transport prides itself on its professional and well-trained drivers, along with its fast, reliable, and luxurious fleet.
During a guided tour of one of the newly introduced buses, Kenneth highlighted several onboard features designed to enhance passenger comfort. These include fully air-conditioned cabins, individual charging ports, television screens, and spacious luggage compartments. In addition to passenger transport, the company also offers freight services, providing customers with convenient cargo solutions across the region.
Beyond scheduled routes, the buses are also available for hire for corporate retreats, conferences, private group travel, and other special events — offering organizations and institutions a comfortable and dependable transportation option.
The inaugural bus service is scheduled to depart from Freetown to Accra on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. Interested passengers are encouraged to secure their seats early by contacting 078 333551.
With rising air travel costs and growing demand for regional mobility, Soumahoro Transport’s new service arrives at a crucial moment — providing Sierra Leoneans with an affordable, reliable, and comfortable alternative for travelling across West Africa.
