Lowland Gorilla Wildlife Safaris and Holidays

A country of only a small population, Gabon enjoys a reputation as one of the most stable countries of Africa. Achieving independence from the French in 1960 the country has been the envy of its neighbours having the third highest annual revenue per person in the continent of Africa. With a third of its gross domestic product coming from oil Gabon has in recent years realised that it has a lot more to offer to the world, with His Excellency Omar Bongo creating 13 National Parks across the country.

The diversity of wildlife available in Gabon is entirely unique; from mandrill, lowland gorilla, chimpanzee and forest elephant populating the dense interior of forests, to whales, turtles and surfing hippo on the coastline one has an amazing choice! As with any wild animals, sightings are not guaranteed and there are specific seasons to visit.  Please contact us for further details and a proposed itinerary for your holiday to Gabon.

What to expect: Gabon is an emerging destination and travellers must bear this in mind throughout their stay. Accommodation varies from tented camps to western style luxury lodges depending on which area you are visiting. Travel and transport in Gabon, as anywhere in Africa, can often be slow and unreliable. The traveller is advised to think of their visit to Gabon as an adventure and to bear in mind that the itinerary is flexible! Often referred to as "The Garden of Eden" Gabon offers the traveller a multitude of different activities and often previously unexplored adventures.
