Planning routes in Gabon
Gabon combines road corridors with air and boat connections; Port-Gentil and some coastal parks are not simple direct road destinations from Libreville.
Check for a water or air break in the route before booking a car for the entire journey.
Booking check: For coastal parks, confirm the gateway town, boat or 4x4 segment, lodge transfer and return timing as one itinerary.
