Destination Dossier
Gabon is Africa's quiet conservation pioneer — 11% of the country is protected as national parks, including Loango on the Atlantic coast where elephants walk the beach and hippos surf the breakers. The forests hold lowland gorillas and mandrills, but you'll likely share the experience with very few other travellers.
