If you want to see a little bit of reality about Liberia I HIGHLY recommend watching this. Having watched the whole thing there's no possible way I'd set foot there.

NSFW! I can't stress this enough, You are going to see some pretty graphic things.

Furryscott,

This particular "Journalist" has drawn a WHOLE LOT of criticism for making this so called "Documentary". He has used old footage of the war (without giving credit to authors), and has sought out the very worst of Liberia. He will be lucky to get out of Liberia, and it is a shame for the way he has portrayed Liberia. This guy is a bad joke.

This video does not reflect reality in Liberia.

There are some good places to eat at, go to the Mamba Point Hotel, they have a nice sushi bar plus an international cuisine restaurant, there is also the Cape Hotel located next door they have good cuisine as well. You can go with the Mamba Point Hotel, Cape Hotel or the ROYAL HOTEL.

For night life you can visit the 2 best clubs in town which are DEJAVU & THE EMBASSY.

Enjoy.

Hi friends,

I need some urgent informations about the actual infrastucture in Monrovia:

Are there some good hotels available (price is not so important)

Are their some good restaurants (mostly I don't like the african kind of cooking, but I like Africa)

Are their some nightclubs, discos or bars?

Thanks

Anybody in-country in Liberia that can advise on the current situation ? Is power and water still not available ? Are prices still very high ? Security ?

Thanks in advance as am trying to decide if I should make a trip there.

WASHINGTON, DC - Delta Air Lines, the only US carrier to serve Africa, today jointly announced that it will expand its service to the continent with the introduction of the first and only flight between Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Monrovia's Roberts International Airport, Liberia (subject to government approval). The service, which will make a stop in Amilcar Cabral International Airport on Sal Island, Cape Verde (subject to government approval), will start in June 2009.

Completely discouraged. Hehe.

Thanks. Will look elsewhere.

Hotels are few in number and expensive--above $100/night. You will pay in cash in advance for your entire stay upon arrival--no credit cards are accepted in Liberia. There are no land-line telephones in Liberia, only cell phones. It isn't easy to make a hotel reservation unless you have someone there to do it for you. U. S. Dollars are preferred, but take plenty of small bills. Getting a visa involves an invitation from someone in-country. It's almost impossible if you don't have a connection, usually with an international agency or a non-governmental organization. About the only flight from Europe is on Brussels Air, three times/week. It's very expensive. The few restaurants are also very expensive. There is virtually nothing to do in Monrovia or Liberia. Discouraged yet? Try Ghana or another country. Liberia is still recovering from 15 years of war.

Thanks Retired

Thinking of going. But I've heard it's very expensive.

Would you tell us please if there are nightclubs, how much is a beer in one, how much is a basic room.

[Retired Army]

Things have improved considerbly since last time I was there. More places open and a general sense of calm.

$10 is pretty much the going price. Not for anything I would be interested in, but some guys might go for the locals.

Hi guys, trying to gather some info on Liberia and the sex scene, I'm aware of the civil war and the dangers that go on here on a constant basis, so any info would be appreciated.

Actually, the mongering scene in Liberia is pretty good. Lots of girls and no jobs means that they are economic driven. $5 is a large amount of money in Liberia. The average wage is only about $50.00 a month.

AAAHHH If there is a civil war there I would stay away
