Kanfarande, Guinea or '' Saint Eugenie'' or ''Victoria'' is a small village located in the Boke Prefecture in the Republic of Guinea. The village has a population of 3062 and was historically ruled by local chiefs who became chiefs hereditarily. The Thomases or "Towel" or "Camaras" family (who were originally from Guinea-Bissau) ruled from the 19th century onwards, and one of the most famous Thomases in the region was Sheku Thomas (whose father was from Guinea-Bissau). ==Reaching Kanfarande== There are three primary means of reaching the village of Kanfarande: -A road vehicle may be taken from nearby Boke or Kamsar to Kolabui to a small port Katounou (45 min). From Katounou a dugout canoe will cross the ocean inlet either to Kanfarande or to nearby Kounsougou depending on the direction of the current and the tide (30-60 min). This is the most preferred means of entering or leaving the village by most Guineans. -A motor boat can sometimes be chartered directly from Kamsar (60 min). This option is much more expensive and not reliable. -During the dry season a road vehicle can sometimes be taken from Boke to Kanfarande (120 min). The road is very poor and vomiting is frequent among passengers if airflow in the vehicle is poor. This option should not be attempted during the rainy season as most of the roads become covered in water and sometimes fast moving streams up to 1.5 meters deep cross the roads. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kanfarandé, Guinea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
