Liberia

Liberia's devastating civil war ended in 2005 with democratic elections that ushered in Africa’s first female president - Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Today, this North African country is a peaceful one with so much to offer visitors, from deserted tropical beaches to lush rainforests and glittering lakes. The capital is Monrovia - a green and attractive coastal city with a vibrant market peddling colourful fabrics, glistening displays of fresh produce and an array of crafts. A few hours away is Robertsport, with secluded sandy shores and great surf, while to the south lies Sapo National Park - a jungle-swathed wilderness that rates among the continent’s finest reserves. Despite their past hardships, Liberia’s people have a natural joie de vivre and music and dance is an integral part of their culture.
