Lofa-Mano National Park, National park in northwestern Liberia
Lofa-Mano National Park is a protected forest area in northwestern Liberia that stretches along the border with Sierra Leone. The land consists of rainforest with rivers and varied habitats that support different animal populations.
The park was established in 1979 to protect the forests and wildlife in the region. Since then, it has become an important conservation zone for endangered species.
Local communities have lived with these forests for generations and continue to use traditional knowledge about plants and animals. Visitors can observe how people maintain their connection to the land in practical ways.
Reaching the park requires planning because it is remote and services are limited in the area. Visitors should arrange transportation and lodging well in advance and check local conditions before traveling.
The park connects forest areas on both sides of the border and creates a natural corridor for animals moving between countries. This connection makes it valuable for species that need large territories to roam.

Liberia sits on the West African coast, a country of dense rainforests, old mountains, and places that tell the story of its particular past. Visitors find national parks like Sapo and Gola, where chimpanzees and rare birds live in forests largely untouched by roads. Mount Wuteve and the Nimba Mountains offer walks through green landscapes, while waterfalls like Kpatawee drop into the forest shade. Along the coast, beaches like Ce Ce Beach and the surfer town of Robertsport with its old Cape Mount Lighthouse draw people looking for waves and quiet. Lakes such as Lake Piso and Blue Lake show the country's calmer side. In the capital Monrovia, Providence Island and the National Museum recall the founding of Liberia by freed slaves from America. The crumbling Ducor Hotel rises above the city, a reminder of boom and decline. Religious buildings like the Sacred Heart Cathedral and the Central Mosque of Matadi reflect the mix of faiths in the country. Markets like Waterside buzz with trade and conversation, while art studios like Nyamee show local creativity at work.
