Gabon holidays

"I hope that our next journey together may not be over a country that seems to have been laid down as an obstacle race track, and to have fallen into bad repair." Mary Kingsley, 1897

Taken from The Traveller's Handbook.

Gabon tailor-made holidays

Gabon holiday experts at WEXAS will tailor-make all aspects of your itinerary to create a Gabon holiday, personal to you.


Gabon tailor-made holiday highlights

Lambarene
The famous and still functioning Schweitzer Hospital, founded in 1924 by the great missionay doctor Albert Schweitzer, can be visited in the heart of the pretty lakes region. A motorised pirogue will take you out into the lakes, where hippos and other wildlife can be sighted.

Libreville
Gabon's bustling modern capital, is characterised by big ocean-view hotels, modern offices and fancy shops - the product of the country's oil boom in the 1970s - and noted for the interesting National Museum and a buzzing nightlife.

Lope National Park
Home to lowland gorillas, mandrills and elephants, alongside other wildlife, in the savannah and rainforests of this abundant game reserve. White-water rafting is available.

Cirque de Leconi
Spectacular red-rock canyons, a favourite area for camping and off-road driving, and noted for their diverse wildlife and beautiful scenery. The red rocks turn a golden colour at sunset.

Mayumba
One day Mayumba will have become the major beach destination for tourists in Gabon. At the moment though it remains difficult to reach, yet is deserted and enchanting.

Port Gentil
This town boomed during the discovery and mining of oil in the 1970s. Modern luxury hotels are located at one end of town, poorer, cheaper quarters, the locals' area, at the other. The town has a community of expatriates and good beaches, and claims to have more evening entertainment by way of bars and restaurants than any other African city.
