My girlfriend and I are hoping to travel from Morocco to Ghana, starting in September. In otherwords land travel on local transport.. Is it safe? What kind of obstacles did they come up against. Otherwise I guess we would have to go through Mali and Burkina Faso? Has anyone taken this route? Thank you for your time Stu. Sierra Leone is very safe for public transport use. The road from S.
Travel during daylight only. Freetown to Monrovia about a days travel. I am in Liberia for the forseable future if I can help anymore. My daughter will be heading to Robertsport, Liberia to work with the Strongheart Foundation, teaching and aiding children and families.
Do you know of the area and the foundation supporting a school there I believe? How safe is it for a 27 year old, pretty red head? We have heard stories that have us quite concerned for her well being. I have been to Robertsport once for a few hours visit, It seems a nice laid back place. It has a pretty beach and lagoon area with a couple of tourist camps. As for safety she should take all possible precautions. Do not go out alone at night. Do not go to strangers houses etc.
I will try and find out about the Strongheart foundation. I have a friend who visits Robertsport every few weeks. If they are any good they will supply a reliable escort and info for her! As for the airport, it is about 50 mins to Monrovia then another 2.
If the foundation does not supply transport let me know. I may be able to help. Are you located in Liberia? I notice your email address refers to orphange support. That is honourable work. Any info you might be able to learn of Strongheart would be much appreciated. We are persuing more detail on arrival and pickup arrangements and might take you up on your suggestion of assistance, if need be. Take care and fell free to send me anything you can on aspects of life and travel in Liberia.
