Africa offers more diversity, culturally, historically, and environmentally, than any other continent. Consider, the Sahara desert cuts a line through the continent, South Africa enjoys near tropical conditions, and Morocco, in the North, enjoys a beautiful Mediterranean climate year round. One of the most beautiful climates to be found in all Africa is in the West African country of Liberia.
Liberia, located on the Atlantic coast, is renowned for many reasons. It’s national language is English, making it a great choice for any Westerner who has no time to learn a new language. While Liberia is only the size of Tennessee, it’s wide variety of activities, landscapes, and amenities allow the small country to benefit from more than $250 million, according to indexmundi.com, the tourism industry generates annually.
Nowhere is this more true than in the nation’s capital, Monrovia. Playing home to private villas at paradise resorts, a wide range of environmental delights, and fantastic entertainment experiences, Monrovia is leading the charge in the increased tourism levels the country enjoys.
