They move to their present location after 1725, when the Fulani attempt to dominate them in the Fouta Jalon.The Susu people are farmers, traders and fishermen.
The Susu live mainly in the coastal areas of Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Their houses are made with mud or cement blocks, and thatched or tin roofs depending on their means.h
