1. Libreville

Nearly one-third of Gabon’s residents live in Libreville. It is Gabon’s capital city and the sole real city to speak of. Because of an inflow of oil money, you’ll find paved roads, neat and clean streets, amazing restaurants, stunningly good French wine, casinos, and gated communities. Not quite like its African neighbors but Libreville’s establishment has a resonant African heartbeat full with the populous, chaotic, and oh-so-fun markets, close-knit communities, and fantastic coastline. Established in the mid 19th century by released slaves (Libreville means ‘Freetown’ in French), the city began to flourish slowly and drew a good variety of people – making a modern day liberal town. Besides the markets, visit the National Museum, the Presidential Palace, L’Eglise St-Michel (St Michael Cathedral), and the Musée des Arts et Traditions du Gabon to get the real taste of Gabon. When you’ll need relaxation, find a tiny spot of beach like Ekwata Island and enjoy a sunbath there.

2. Akanda National Park

Internationally famed as the nesting ground for one of the biggest populations of guest birds, Akanda National Park is the home of 25% of preserved mangrove in total Africa. The Bantu clan believes that the Mondah forest, within the park, is a holy place where many of their myths and fables were formed. This is also a fabulous spot for water sports, fishing, and locating dolphins and whales. Surely you have to visit Leatherback Trove where the Ministry of Water and Forest partner with the Gabon Sea Turtle Partnership to educate teams to record illicit fishing near the coastline to preserve the leatherbacks – whose population has reduced by 90%.

3. Mayumba National Park

This park is located near to the border of the Republic of Congo and is the sole primarily marine park. It’s a narrow strip of land that contains savanna, sand dunes, beaches, and rainforest. About 60km of this slice is reserved leatherback turtle nesting beach. There’s a great chance that you’ll find the barnacled whales, sea turtles, dolphins, antelopes, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, monkeys and naturally elephants. Local people will tell you that this region is defended by the spirits of the predecessors.
