Since we are an international company, our local and expatriate consultants in Gabon regularly ask us these questions:
- What can i do in Gabon?
- What should I visit?
- What can i do during my periods of 6×3 or 8×2 rotations ?
That being the case, we would like to suggest our Top 5 places to go to during your rest periods, your holidays, or simply your free time in Gabon! Keep in mind that Gabon is a country rich in history, tradition and breathtaking scenery! Here is our best selection:
N°5 – Parc National de La Lopé
If you love elephants do not miss Lopé National Park, known for having the world’s highest density of elephants per square kilometer. Listed as a UNESCO heritage since 2007 as “Ecosystem and relict cultural landscape of Lopé-Okanda”, it will impress you with its rich fauna.
N°4 – Musée des Arts et Traditions du Gabon
You wish to find out more about the local culture? If that is the case do not miss visiting the National Museum of Arts and Tradition, located in the center of Libreville, nearby the sea. With its relics, its statues, and its ancestral art, it will take you on a ride through the ages! If you are more into the interaction, you can also visit the Virtual Museum of Arts and Traditions of Gabon. This way, you will have the opportunity to attend various traditional ceremonies that you could not access unless you are an insider.
