Pan Africa Tourism Board (PATBOARD)
Central Africa is the continent's least explored yet most biodiverse region - home to the world's second-largest rainforest, lowland gorillas, forest elephants, and some of the last truly wild frontiers on earth. It is a destination for the intrepid traveller seeking genuine discovery.
The Congo Basin's 200 million hectares of rainforest absorb more carbon than the Amazon, making it critical to global climate health. Tourism here is conservation at its most meaningful - revenues directly protect gorilla habitats, fund anti-poaching patrols, and support indigenous communities. From Cameroon's volcanic highlands to Gabon's pristine coastline, Central Africa is the next frontier for eco-tourism.

Multi-day jungle treks, canopy walks, pygmy community visits, and river expeditions through the heart of the Congo Basin - experiences available nowhere else on the planet.
Gabon's Loango National Park is the only place on earth where you can see forest elephants, hippos, gorillas, and humpback whales from the same beach - truly Africa's "Last Eden."
