Loango is Gabon’s flagship wildlife destination where rainforest, lagoon, and Atlantic beaches create a rare safari profile.
Watch hippos wade into Atlantic surf - a sight found nowhere else on earth. These coastal hippos have adapted to the ocean environment in a unique evolutionary phenomenon.
Humpback whales migrate to Gabon's warm waters from July to September to calve. Watch mothers and calves from the beach or by boat - an increasingly popular sustainable attraction.
From November to March, leatherback and olive ridley turtles nest on Loango's beaches - night patrol walks to observe nesting mothers is a conservation highlight.
June to September for whale watching and best weather. November to March for sea turtle nesting. May-September is the long dry season with the most comfortable conditions.
Fly to Libreville (LBV) - direct flights from Paris, Addis Ababa, and Casablanca. Charter flights to Loango's airstrip. E-visa required for most nationalities (apply 72h+ in advance).
Loango Lodge (beachfront eco-lodge) and Operation Loango camps are the only accommodations in the park. In Libreville, Radisson Blu Okoumé Palace for pre/post-trip stays.
