About Robertsport

It is customary to wash hands before eating, as many meals are shared and eaten with hands. Always accept food offered by hosts as a sign of respect.

Shared taxis often wait until full before departing, so patience is required. Motorbike taxis are a common but informal mode of transport.

The dry season is ideal for beach activities, while the rainy season can make roads impassable and limit outdoor exploration.

Try dishes like fufu with palm butter soup, jollof rice, and fresh seafood caught daily from the Atlantic.

Respect local customs, such as not pointing with your finger; use your thumb instead. Avoid public displays of affection.

Eat at local markets, use shared taxis, and negotiate prices for souvenirs. Staying in guesthouses is more affordable than hotels.

Always ask permission before photographing people or private property. Some cultural sites may prohibit photography.

Greetings are important; take time to exchange pleasantries before getting to the point. English is widely understood, but learning a few phrases in Vai or Gola is appreciated.

Support local businesses, avoid single-use plastics, and respect natural sites by not littering. Participate in community-led conservation efforts if available.
