Keke Tour of Monrovia

I had contacted Roots of Africa Tours Monrovia weeks before my trip to Liberia and enquired about their Monrovia Keke tour and booked. The tour making some changes to some of the places shown on the initial tour.

Wendell came to pick me at 11am with a Keke to commence the tour. We drove through different parts of Monrovia during the tour which gave me a very good view of the city. We stopped at the following places:
* Robert's Monument dedicated to the first president of liberia. The guide gave a brief history of the settlers and the clashes they had with the indigenous people.
* Ducor hotel was one of the best hotel in West Africa. It was damaged by the civil war and never renovated since then. It is the highest point in Nairobi and I got a good view of West Point from there.
* Liberia National museum provided a historical insight of liberia, the people and their culture including major events in the history of the country.
* Centinnial hall built in 1847 and the official venue of all presidential inaugurations in Liberia since then.
* Providence Island the first place the settlers set up home in Liberia when they returned to the motherland.
* Executive Pavillion a historic building constructed as part of the executive mansion complex.
* PHP Unification Park and modern games and exercise park built during the presidency of George Weah.

In summary it was an interesting tour of historic places and landmarks in LiberiaLeia mais
