Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A voltage converter is only necessary if your device’s voltage differs from the country you’re traveling to. In Liberia, the voltage matches the U.S., so you won’t need one.
Always check the power specifications on your device before heading overseas. If it lists “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, your device is safe to use internationally without needing a voltage converter. This applies to most phones, laptops, tablets, and personal care devices.

More About Liberia
Liberia is unique—Africa’s oldest republic and never colonized. It was established in the early 1800s for freed African-American slaves and declared independence in 1847, so there’s a deep American connection in its roots.
The country stretches along the West African coast with about 350 miles of sandy beaches, mangrove islands, rolling hills, and tropical forests. It’s home to over 20 tribal groups, English is the official language, and tribal languages are common in rural areas.
Today, Liberia offers some real adventure—surfing unspoiled beaches, exploring rainforests and lagoons, and experiencing a culture defined by resilience and rich storytelling. It’s not polished, but it’s deeply real, and off-the-beaten-path travel never felt more genuine.
