Gabon

Gabon sits on the Atlantic coast of Central Africa, where dense equatorial rainforest covers roughly eighty percent of the land. Oil wealth has kept its cities relatively prosperous by regional standards, while the interior remains one of the least-disturbed forest ecosystems on the continent. Logging roads give way to red-earth tracks, forest elephants cross rivers at dusk, and Libreville hums with a Franco-African rhythm.

About Gabon

Overview

Bordering Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, and the Republic of the Congo, Gabon occupies a compact stretch of Central Africa with a coastline along the Gulf of Guinea. Libreville is the capital and largest city. French is the official language and the CFA franc the currency. The country's identity is shaped by its Bantu ethnic diversity, its Catholic and animist traditions, and decades of oil-driven stability.
