This West African nation is one of the most ethnically diverse countries on the planet, with over 30 languages spoken throughout. It’s full of scenic landscapes including sandy beaches, dense rainforests and green-capped mountains. Set foot inside the vast Sapo National Park and you’ll encounter antelopes, forest elephants, pygmy hippos and much more. If you’re staying in the capital Monrovia, then allow yourself a full day to travel here by 4WD. Plenty of palm tree-lined beaches like Silver and CeCe surround Monrovia, but if you’re here for some surf then grab your board and head for the best waves. Like much of West Africa, Liberia has a musical heart, and its own brand of hip hop, known as ‘Hip Co’. A number of nightclubs can be found in and around Monrovia, hosting DJs and live music. Accommodation types include a number of small-scale hotels, guest houses and apartments, with many spread across the coast of Monrovia.
