Mangrove Forests, Sandy Beaches & Turtles
Just a short boat ride from Libreville lies Pongara National Park off the coast. In addition to mangrove forests and a vast savanna, you’ll find pristine white-sand beaches where large numbers of sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs every year between November and February. During the dry season, there are wonderful whale-watching and other marine excursions to enjoy. The park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, hippos, chimpanzees, and bush pigs. Pongara is the perfect destination to combine relaxation at the end of your trip with the remarkable wildlife of Gabon.
