Journey

Road to East Nimba

Follow the main northeast corridor from Monrovia through Gbarnga and Ganta to Sanniquellie, then shift from ordinary road travel to an authority- and community-led mountain visit. The public journey ends where confirmed access begins; reserve trails, mining boundaries and any cross-border continuation remain outside the line.
