A relatively unknown, under-populated country where tourism has not yet stirred the conscience?

Picture if you will …

Dirt routes meandering through miles of pristine rainforest pocketed by rural clearances, morning mist shrouding the upper canopy, children bathing in deep pools of amber, nature's treasures being sold by the road side, and village life lulled into complacency by the heat of the midday sun.

At night the mystique of Gabon unfolding: invisible swirls of cool scented air released by the forest in one deep sweet breath so pure it seizes your lungs with its intensity, the unmarred brilliance of the night sky, the sound of drum beats reverberating across a river, the lament of the hyrax, that stilled air of expectancy for nature to reveal itself - a panther slinking silently back into the shadows, a curtain of foliage momentarily disturbed to embrace a small herd of elephants, and the impenetrable darkness that cloaks the forest held at bay by village camp fires that cast dancing shadows on mud houses the colour of honey.

It is, quite simply, a magnificent place.
