The
Tinkisso River is a river in
Guinea in west Africa. The river is sourced near Dalaba in the
Fouta Djallon mountain range, north of
Mamou and snakes approximately north-east and then east across the plains of Guinea, until it runs into the
River Niger at
Siguiri. The river is approximately in length.
The river and the surrounding plains were designated a Ramsar site by the Niger Basin Authority and the Guinean government in 2002. The river and its tributaries are the home to species of manatee.
