Bong

Nestled in the heart of Liberia, Bong County is a nature lover's paradise, with lush forests and pristine waterfalls. For those seeking a day or weekend break from the hustle and bustle of Monrovia, Bong County is the perfect destination, as it is just a few hours outside the capital on a paved road and shares a border with seven other counties.

The stunning Kpatawee Waterfall is just 32 miles from the county's bustling capital of Gbarnga, but it feels like a world away. It is a must-see destination for any traveler visiting Liberia. Kpatawee offers a breathtaking view of the cascading waterfalls surrounded by lush greenery and colorful birds, butterflies, and jungle frogs. The Kpatawee Ecolodge and camping area allow visitors to stay near the falls, surrounded by forest.

Beyond the natural beauty, Bong County has a rich history, with several historical sites and landmarks that offer a glimpse into Liberia's past, such as the gravesite of Madame Suakoko, a female clan chief and establisher of many public institutions. The Suacoco district also contains Cuttington University, founded in 1889 as one of Liberia's oldest private educational institutions.
