Guinea-Bissau is a small West African country with a single international gateway, so group transport is modest and centred on the capital, Bissau. It is mostly official, NGO and small-group work. Share your plan and a quote can be arranged with a local operator.
Arriving at Bissau
The country's only international airport is Osvaldo Vieira International Airport (OXB), also called Bissalanca, in the Safim area just outside the capital. Because it is the sole gateway, an airport transfer for a group is straightforward to plan, but confirm the meeting point and vehicle size in advance as capacity is limited.
Getting around the capital
Bissau is compact, and group movement is usually short transfers between the airport, accommodation and meeting points. A minibus with a driver suits most parties here better than a large coach, given the vehicle fleet and the road network.
Reaching the regions
Beyond Bissau, roads reach the interior and the coast, while the Bijagos Islands are reached by boat rather than road. Overland journeys can be slow, so allow time and confirm the route and season when arranging transport outside the capital.
Before you book
Give the passenger count, the pickup and destination and the dates, and note whether any travel outside Bissau is involved. Local operators may need lead time on larger vehicles. We pass the enquiry to a local operator and return a fixed price.
