Electricity and sockets
From the UK you will mostly manage without an adapter in Liberia – your plugs fit at least one of the recorded systems (Types C, D, F and G).
Sockets at the destination
The grid in Liberia works at 230 V and 50 Hz; the recorded sockets are Types C, D, F and G. At 230 V the supply matches what UK and European appliances expect, so no converter is needed.
Nearby but different: Lesotho and Botswana – an adapter for Liberia will not fit there. 1 of the 55 destinations in Africa share the plug types of Liberia.
Protective earth
Earthed sockets (Types D, F and G) and unearthed ones (Type C) exist side by side. For metal-bodied appliances the protective-earth path is what matters.
