Ditinn Falls is a waterfall in the town of Ditinn in Middle Guinea, near the city of Dalaba. It is about 120 metres high, dropping over a tall cliff into the valley of the Téné River. It is one of Guinea's highest and finest waterfalls, a long white ribbon against red cliffs. Water flows all year, but the falls are at their best in the rainy season. Nearby Dalaba sits at about 1,276 metres and is called the Switzerland of West Africa for its mild climate and green hills, a well-known hill station in colonial times. You see a red and orange sandstone cliff with a white ribbon of water dropping into a wide brown pool, spray flying around it. Thick green plants and rocks ring the pool. A grassy path leads in through the trees, with the falls showing from afar between the cliffs. It is about 16 km from Dalaba in a straight line. The last stretch is on foot and may be muddy in the rains. Do not swim directly under the falls, as the water drops with force.
