The Libassa Wildlife Sanctuary, Liberia's first and only wildlife rescue center, opened on May 6, 2017, as an officially registered NGO in partnership with the Forestry Development Authority. It focuses on rehabilitating confiscated wild animals—whether kept as pets or destined for bushmeat trade—and releases them when possible, while providing lifelong care for non-releasable cases. The sanctuary also engages volunteers in conservation work, raises awareness about illegal wildlife trafficking, and educates the public on Liberia's native species.

Nice place to spend a diverse day. The tour at the animal shelter, the only one in Liberia, costs 10$. It is located just next to the Libassa Ecolodge, where one can enjoy a meal and beach day after the visit. Entrance is 10$ as well.

The tours of the sanctuary are at 11am, 2pm and 4pm. They cost $10 and are very informative and definitely convey the message of rehabilitation and release. When I visited (December 2024) they had limited staff due to them being away to release a few animals back into the wild that day. In addition, they had a closed off area that was for a group of monkey that were going to be released that I wasn’t able to see but it’s heartwarming to know people care, especially after you hear some of the stories of why these animals are here. I just wish I could’ve gone into the bar opposite to buy a drink prior to my tour without having to pay a $10 entry fee.
