Robertsport is Liberia's surf town, about 50 km north of Monrovia on the Atlantic coast, next to Lake Piso. Two or three nights covers the beaches, the surf and the lagoon. Roads beyond the main highway are unpaved, so a 4x4 and driver are the practical way in during the dry season.

- Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
- Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
- West Africa ↗Carry an original yellow fever vaccination certificate on any West African trip: several countries on the coast road demand it of every arrival, and the rest demand it after you have passed through a neighbour.
- West Africa ↗Cross land borders and drive between cities in daylight only; plan each crossing as a full travel day with cash for fees and passport copies for checkpoints.
- Liberia ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on official Liberian government sources; many nationalities need a visa before travel.
- Liberia ↗Check the yellow-fever vaccination certificate rules for Liberia before you fly.

Watch out
Safety
- The Monrovia–Robertsport road is unpaved in stretches and muddy in the rains: dry season only, and not after dark.
- Some buildings still show civil-war damage; keep valuables out of sight.
- Arrange your return driver before dark — there is little night transport.
- Bring cash in US dollars or Liberian dollars; card acceptance is rare outside the lodges.
