Discover an Exciting Destination, Lowland Gorilla Wildlife Safaris, Chimpanzees, Whales and Turtles
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 neighbors 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 realized 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 on a Gabon holiday is unique; from mandrill, lowland gorilla, chimpanzee and forest elephant populating the dense interior of forests, to whales, turtles and surfing hippo on the coastline. As with any wild animals, sightings are not guaranteed and there are specific seasons to visit.
