About Liberia
Liberia, founded by freed American slaves in 1847, is Africa's oldest republic and offers a unique connection to African-American history. The country's capital, Monrovia, is named after US President James Monroe. Beyond its historical significance, Liberia boasts pristine rainforests, including Sapo National Park - one of West Africa's largest primary forests and home to forest elephants, pygmy hippos, and chimpanzees. The country's long Atlantic coastline features beautiful, largely undeveloped beaches perfect for those seeking off-the-beaten-path adventures.
