A relative newcomer to tourism, Gabon has
plenty to offer the adventurous traveller.
The infrastructure may be ‘work in progress’,
and it can be expensive, but the reward for
perseverance is one of the most exhilarating,
unspoilt landscapes on the continent.
The clean, white, sandy beaches along the
Atlantic coast are contrasted with tropical
rainforests as you explore inland. Continue
along the raging river valleys of the Ogooue
and it’s tributaries, and you’ll be aghast at
the deep canyons, mountains, and endless
varieties of plant and wildlife.
Libreville is your typical West African capital,
with little of particular note. The real beauty
of Gabon is in its coastline, & the impressive
swathes of protected land. On the coast,
the Loango National Park has the surreal
sight of elephants and hippos wandering the
shore, amid turtle breeding grounds, whales
and dolphins in the ocean, and baboons in
the bush. At the Reserve De La Lope, the
scenery is one of rolling hills, bush, and thick
rain forest, where elephants, primates, and
herds of buffalo are common.
Further inland the Ivindo National Park is an
even more dense, & far less disturbed rain-
animals and birds in the most natural of
habitats.
