Culture & Travel Tips

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Liberia is during the dry season from November to April. December to March offers the best weather. The rainy season (May-October) brings heavy rainfall with June-July being particularly wet. Roads can become impassable during heavy rains.

Cultural Notes

Liberia was founded by freed American slaves in 1847, creating a unique Americo-Liberian culture that blended American and African elements. This coexists with 16 indigenous ethnic groups with their own traditions. Traditional secret societies, masks, and ceremonies remain important. The country's motto is "The Love of Liberty Brought Us Here."

Insider Tips

English is the official language (American English due to founding history). The Liberian Dollar is the currency; US dollars are widely accepted. Liberia uses American-style electrical outlets. Infrastructure is limited outside Monrovia. Mobile money (Orange Money) is commonly used.
