Loango's
contribution to President Bongo's commitment of a national park system is 1,550
square kilometres of lagoons, forests, savannas, wetlands and over 100 kilometres
of uninhabited coastline.
Part of the Congo Basin rainforest - the second
largest rainforest expanse in the world - its uniqueness lies in the fact that
it is perhaps the only place on earth where one can observe elephants, hippos,
buffaloes, monkeys, chimpanzees, gorillas and leopards venturing onto the beachfront.
The area also boasts the largest concentration of whales and dolphins after South
Africa.

tour is for the early riser! Our 1 ½ hour journey by 4 X 4 to the Park
criss-crosses savanna and rainforest via a dirt route and affords visitors a marvelous
opportunity to experience the sights and smells of the African bush. We'll cross
to Loango by motorboat and then transfer to one of the Reserve's 4 x 4 for a 2
½ hour safari through savanna and rainforest. |
