A land where Whales, Gorillas & Mandrills meet
GABON
NatGeo bestowed Gabon with the term 'Africa's Eden', true, accurate and potentially underrating. A wild and endlessly green country, Gabon has an unrivalled and untapped tourism potential. Diverse in its habitat portfolio, Gabon is the only place where Humpback Whales, nesting Turtles, Mandrills, Lowland Gorillas, Red River Hogs, Forest Elephant, Giant Pangolin all meet. In its stages of infancy, this country is slowly opening up to the world and we look forward to supporting this country and all it ahs to offer.
Loango
The place renowned for 'wildlife on the beach'. Loango National Park and its relatively easy access in a country with so few roads is unsurprisingly the most well know of all the National Parks in Gabon. Loango is also the best place in the country to walk alongside habituated Western Lowland Gorillas while on the same day watching the sun set over the Atlantic. For deep 'rainforest' experiences there are a few special little camps in and around Loango to find Forest Elephants by boat, Red River Hogs on foot and in the right season, wildlife on the beach.
Lopé
Lope is THE place in Africa to see wild Mandrills that are semi-tolerant to the presence of humans. This is one of the most extraordinary mammals on Earth, best seen during their outrageous breeding season from June-August. Apart form the Mandrills, the fascinating mosaic of ancient anthropogenic savanna grasslands and gallery forests make Lope extremely diverse with a suite of species ranging from Chimpanzees, Black Colobus, endemic Sun Tailed Monkey and the holy grail Giant Pangolin.
Ivindo
In 2001 the famous conservationist-explorer, Mike Fay, 'discovered' a clearing in the forest called Langoue Bai. So remote and impenetrable, this special clearing may or may not have been known to locals before the discovery. One of only 2 bai's in Africa where both Forest Elephant and Lowland Gorillas meet, Langoue and its virgin rainforests are worth exploring for those who seek the 'hidden gem'.
