Liberia's Gola Forest National Park is situated within Grand Cape Mount and Gbarpolu counties. This vital protected area forms a segment of the larger cross-border Gola rainforest system, which extends into neighbouring Sierra Leone.

The park is widely recognised for its exceptional avian diversity, making it a significant habitat for various bird species. Its rich ecosystem contributes to the region's overall ecological health and importance.

Travellers planning a visit should ascertain current access routes and prevailing road conditions. It is also imperative to secure any necessary permits and seek local guidance before embarking on a journey to the park.
