WHY TO GO
Gabon is a true natural treasure trove, characterized by imposing rivers that meander through the dense tropical forest, the only means of communication between the paradisiacal coastline, where more than half the population is concentrated in the capital Libreville, and the deepest and wildest inland areas. A land of colorful gorillas and mandrills, a habitant for panthers and dwarf crocodiles that silently glide along the rivers and lagoons, and surreal coastlines that open up onto virgin beaches where herds of elephants and hippos roam undisturbed, to seek refreshment directly in the waves of Atlantic Ocean, in a spectacle as unusual as its real, which also welcomes rare lute tortoises, a multitude of dolphins and humpback whales.
Intricate labyrinths of damp lianas and tunnel-like mangroves, evergreen rainforests, savannahs of mysterious origins and impenetrable jungles, where only the Babon pygmy and Fang bantu populations have been able to adapt, guarding deepest secrets of busting nature.
Gabon is indescribable in words, a naturalistic and spiritual universe, made up of naturopathic and traditional medicine, ritual and ancestral “Bwiti’’ practices, in which mem, plants and wild animals have lived in perfect balance and symbiosis since the dawn time.
An anthropic mastery of one of the wildest territories in the world, of its dangers and resources, in which the use of hallucinogenic shamanic plants is contemplated, as a cathartic asceticism of total fusion with the natural and supernatural environment.
Gabon its and adventurous and mysterious destination, for true enthusiasts, all waiting to be discovered.
WHEN TO GO
Its all depending on where the tourist wants to go. The south of country is entirely wooded, known in the year four seasons, a dry season from December to March, a short raining season from April to June. A short raining season from July to September and a long raining season from October to November.
In the north part, on contrary, there are two distinct season. A rain season from June to October and dry season the rest of the year, but all this is theoretical because the nuance exist for example in the west where the rains fall in July, august and September and in the coast its rains almost all the time. Apart from the national parks located in the north of the country which are difficult to access during the rainy season.
