Barefoot Liberia

20/04/2016

Dear Friends and Family,

It is with a heavy heart that I officially announce the closing of tour operator and destination management service provider, Barefoot Liberia, operating in Monrovia since 2008.

It was an honor participating in an industry that is ripe for success and still promises great things for Liberia. I would like to express an immense gratitude to this country and the community for the wonderful 6 years I spent in Liberia. The overpowering beauty of the landscape is only comparable to the beauty within the hearts of the Liberian people.

Today, tourism is once again opening it's window of opportunity and there are new players ready to help drive the industry:

Former head tour guide of Barefoot Liberia, expert bush traveler, and fixer extraordinaire James (Jimmy) Korkolie is on ground and available for tours in Monrovia and across Liberia. He can be reached at [email protected], or by phone at +231 (0) 886 529 113 or +231 (0) 776 968 322

Jimmy is an excellent guide for day trips and week long upcountry travel. He knows the whole country including some of the deepest parts of the Liberian rain forest, speaks several Liberian dialects, is an incredible problem solver, and is the perfect liaison with local communities. Jimmy is also available for logistical fixing services for events and daily activities in Monrovia.

Chiquita Johnson is running her own tour company, West Tourism Management, based in Monrovia. Check out her website at www.west-tourism.com . She can be reached at [email protected] or by phone on: +231 (0) 886 266 027 / +231 (0) 770 479 254

And of course, Barefoot Joe is still offering fishing trips and adventures out on the St. Paul river! +231 (0) 888 196 891

I hope each and every one of you has the opportunity to travel through Liberia's gems. My favorite trip was to East Nimba Nature Reserve with Jimmy; which included Mount Nimba with views over Guinea and Cote d'Ivoire and endless deep rain forest hikes to mystical waterfalls! Check out photos from our trip here.

Lots of Love Liberia and hope to see you again soon o!
