How to visit

How visitors can enjoy Gabon

Use Libreville as the entry point and plan park travel through lodges or conservation-linked operators. Gabon’s best adventures are remote, so flights, boats and lodge transfers should be arranged before travel.

Travel reminder: Adventure conditions, park access, weather, safety rules and visa requirements may change. Confirm the latest route and entry information before booking.
