Overview

Gabon

Surrounded by the Congo, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon is a rich land opened on the Atlantic ocean that deserves to be explored. Perfect destination for adventures off the beaten track, this territory lying on the Equator can only appeal to people passionate about nature. More than 80% of the country's surface is covered by a dense forest that is still preserved. The very diversified fauna abounds in forests, lagoons and swamp lands that border the country. Also, humpback whales pass along the coasts from June to September.

pros

  •  Primeval forests and wildlife are well preserved.
  •  National flights are reliable and convenient.

cons

  •  Cost of living is very expensive.
  •  The lack of infrastructure and the Equatorial forest's high density do not facilitate travelling within the country.
