Liberia Travel Advice

Travellers are advised against all but essential travel to Liberia. It is advised that adequate security arrangements for accommodation and travel are made with a reliable organisation in advance of arrival.

The main security risks are violent crime and public order incidents. The former is a particular risk in Monrovia after dark. Travellers should not walk in Monrovia at night.

Demonstrations anywhere in the country can quickly become violent. The Liberia National Police, supported by UN peacekeepers, will respond to any public order incidents. Visitors should avoid large crowds.

Visitors should avoid travelling alone, particularly at night and to secluded places. The ability of the national authorities and the UN to provide emergency assistance in areas outside Monrovia is more limited. It is recommended that visitors do not overnight outside Monrovia. Visitors should check the security situation before travelling to any part of the country.

Travellers should carry photographic identification at all times.

The threat from terrorism is low.

This advice is based on information provided by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK. It is correct at time of publishing. As the situation can change rapidly, visitors are advised to contact the following organisations for the latest travel advice:
