About Liberia

Liberia is a small West African country of dense rainforest, mangrove creeks and long Atlantic beaches. Monrovia, the capital, has a difficult history and a lively street culture, Sapo National Park protects one of the region's richest rainforests, and the coast runs from Robertsport surf breaks to Harper in the southeast. The dry season from November to April is easier for roads, forest walks and beaches; the rains from May to October are heavy and can make travel slow.

Did you know?

Liberia was founded by freed African Americans and declared independence in 1847.
Its rainforests hold the westernmost populations of chimpanzees and forest elephants.
The surf breaks around Robertsport are among West Africa's best.
