💡 Tips

Roads in Maryland County are often unpaved and muddy; a 4WD vehicle is highly recommended, especially in the rainy season.
ATMs are virtually non-existent here; bring enough Liberian Dollars and small US notes from Harper or Monrovia.
The coastal humidity is intense; plan your walks and explorations for the early morning.
Greet elders respectfully before asking for directions, as local customs value politeness highly.
