Skip the Airport Transfer Completely
Yogi Guest House sits opposite the New Airport Gate, about 2.8 km from Lungi International Airport. Land, take the 6-minute ride, check in.
Left: Freetown International Airport gate. Right: Yogi Guest House — directly across the road.
Why book Yogi instead of arranging a transfer
Most travellers arriving at Lungi Airport face the same problem: it's late, they're tired, and they need to cross to Freetown via the ferry or water taxi. That adds 1-3 hours and real safety risk — especially at night.
- Taxi negotiation while exhausted
- Ferry or Sea Coach wait (30-90 min)
- Night travel risk on the water
- Extra cost ($30–$80+)
- Hotel still far from airport for next flight
- About 6 min by car from arrivals
- No ferry crossing needed
- Safe, simple, immediate
- Airport shuttle NLe 500
- Ready for your next flight on-site

What travellers say about our location
The night ferry from Lungi to Freetown felt risky. I'm so glad we stayed at Yogi instead. Peaceful night, great breakfast, and arranged a morning taxi without any hassle.
For transit passengers, this is unbeatable. Our team uses Yogi every time we route through Lungi. No transfer stress, always reliable.
I did not realize how convenient this would be. Flight at 06:00? Just wake up and take the short shuttle to the terminal. Absolutely brilliant location.
