Gabon

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Gabon is a Central African nation bordering the Atlantic Ocean, renowned for its exceptional biodiversity — over 80% of the country is covered by rainforest and it is home to forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, and some of Africa's most pristine national parks, including Lopé and Loango. São Tomé and Príncipe, a small island nation sitting in the Gulf of Guinea roughly 250 km off Gabon's coast, is one of Africa's least-visited destinations, known for its lush volcanic landscapes, colonial Portuguese architecture, and rich cacao heritage. Together, the two destinations attract adventurous travellers drawn to off-the-beaten-path wildlife experiences, diving and snorkelling in clear equatorial waters, and dense, untouched tropical jungle. The combination of mainland rainforest expedition and island escape makes this pairing a compelling route for explorers seeking raw, unspoilt Africa.

Self-Launched Gabon & São Tomé and Príncipe Adventure — 13 Days

One of the most extraordinary off-the-beaten-path double-destination trips in Africa — gorilla trekking and beach safaris in Gabon's Loango National Park, followed by island-hopping across São Tomé and Príncipe. This self-launched version replaces the guided group tour with independently booked lodges, local guides hired on arrival, and scheduled regional flights, saving you thousands of pounds while giving you full control of your pace. Note: these two destinations are genuinely remote and expensive to reach — accommodation and internal flights account for the bulk of costs. All prices are approximate estimates per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Gabon yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
