  • Full Name
    Gabon
  • Located in West Africa and bordering Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and the Republic of Congo, Gabon has a small population with less than 2 million people.

    It has around 10% of its national parks and wildlife areas protected thanks to the Government so it ticks the Eco Tourism box very well.

    The country has a stable Government and some natural resources have helped make it one of the wealthier African countries.
