Gabon – Highlights Tour

Gabon – Highlights tour

Known as the ‘last Eden’, Gabon has a reputation to live up to. A troubled recent history made tourism to an (almost) completely full hald. But, here we are in Gabon. During our 4 day tour we’ll visit the capital Libreville, see the famous Bwiti ceremony, Okuyi Mask Dance and enjoy the Pongara National Park. Join us, and be one of the only tourists in the country.

Extend this tour with the Central African Republic and São Tomé & Príncipe for our Along the Equator Combo Tour.

NOTE: There’s a first for everything, and this tour is our Explorer’s Tour. It’s a new group tour, which means you get to be first with us to explore Gabon. However, it also means adventure, as with a first tour not everything might go as planned. Please keep this in mind when booking.
