Security

Liberia

Liberia has known seventeen years of very bloody civil war. Despite President Taylor's departure and recent exile, the political climate is still unstable. Limited travelling due to poor transport infrastructure. Note that in Monrovia there is no British Embassy. Today, Liberia is not a recommended tourist site

All of the editorial team’s advice

Liberia

Today, Liberia is not a recommended safe tourist destination. The recent civil war has profoundly affected the country and the resurgence of tensions renders it dangerous. In case of any major problems, British nationals are not well protected since there is no British Embassy in the country.
