The ‘Last Eden Earth on Earth’, Gabon lies along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in western Africa. Extending across the equator with three-fourths of the nation dominated by rainforest, it faces an equatorial climate. Libreville is the capital city housing unique cultural treasures such as Palais Presidentiel and L'Eglise St-Michel. Several shops, hypermarkets, restaurants and government buildings are at the downtown avenue, Boulevard Triomphal. Near the city, the rainforest preserve, Arboretum de Sibang and the offshore Pointe Denis Beach offer the best escape into nature. Port Gentil in western Gabon is the nation’s second largest city. The seaport city lacks the rush of the capital but offers a bustling nightlife with Le Code Bar and Joe’s Restaurant & Bar being among the most sought-after. While St. Louis Church is an iconic landmark, Sogara Beach offers a fine leisurely ambience. The east central region of Gabon is popular for Ivindo National Park. Comprising an untamed landscape, Kongou, Mingouli and Djidji are three spectacular waterfalls that must not be missed. With 600 mammals, 2000 plant species and 400 bird species, it is also prized for being home to the largest concentration of western lowland gorillas in the entire continent. Loango National Park in western Gabon is another must-visit wonder with 100 km of beaches stretching along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.
