ACTIVITIES
In Loango National Park, we have created a circuit that allows you to see and experience all the park's highlights and ecosystems. From the lodge, you can venture out into the forest with one of our eco-guides or book a game drive or river safari to experience the diverse habitats and wildlife the area have to offer.
GAME DRIVES&BOAT SAFARI'S
Game drives in a 4x4 pickup are an easy and comfortable way to view the park and see wildlife such as buffalo, elephant, red river hogs and sitatunga. In the rainy season from November to April, you can find large mammals roaming freely on the beach.Enjoy sun downers while on a tour of the lagoon or get up close and personal with forest elephants on the Akaka river.
WALKING SAFARIS
You can venture out with one of our eco-guides into the forest. On foot is one of the best ways to learn more about the diversity of the park. You can encounter wildlife such as elephants and buffalo, but even more so, discover the more inconspicuous forest animals and birds.
TURTLE PATROL
Gabon is home to one of the largest leatherback populations in the world. In the turtle season, from October to February, you can venture out at night with our expert eco-guides to look for nesting marine turtles. In total, four species of marine turtles can be found nesting on Gabon’s beaches. The leatherback and the olive ridley nest here regularly but the green turtle and the hawksbill turtle only nest here on rare occasions.
WHALE WATCHING
From mid-July to mid-September, humpback whales visit the coastline of Loango National Park. Go out on a boat with our skipper to look for these impressive, playful mammals.
