History - A Glimpse into the Past

She was forged in an ancient ironmongery of England and had journeyed thousands of miles from her distant lands to laud over executions on a Gabonese plain sometimes referred to as the red square. A present from Queen Victoria to the local King. Forbidden to a woman's touch.

The surrounding countryside is littered with fascinating stories and fragments of Gabon's early history and European past. Travel back hundreds of years ago with a guide from one of Omboué's oldest families. You'll listen to facts, legends and folklore passed down from generation to generation and observe firsthand where history made its mark.

The history of Omboué and region stretches over a considerable distance and involves either the use of motorboat or 4 X 4, and/or walking to access the places of interest.

Due to these reasons, we personally tailor every excursion according to the level and area of interest of each individual client.

Please contact us directly for further information.
