Discover the diverse wildlife and dense rainforests of Gabon on an adventure tour

See Wild Travels is a British company but, at its heart, it is Anglo-Gabonese with a local office in Gabon. It is run by Donna Honey, who has lived and worked in Gabon since 2008, including as a researcher in Loango National Park. With a passion for responsible and sustainable conservation tourism, See Wild Travels showcases the amazing wildlife and diverse habitats of Gabon on their back-to-nature tours and safaris.

Loango National Park is truly a tourism gem where you can trek wild gorillas and go whale watching on the same day. Our wild camps situated in the park give you the chance to be at one with nature. Activities include safari drives in the savannas, hiking in the forest or boat safaris where you might see hippos, gorilla and elephants all in one place.

See Wild Travels successfully runs tours in some of Gabon’s most remote government protected national parks with a high level of customer care. We have also expanded our tours into exciting neighbouring countries that offer their own unique highlights and can be visited in combination with Gabon.

See wild Travels enables you to SEE WILD and REMOTE AFRICA completely off the beaten track and away from tourist crowds.

It’s recommended to carry cash in XAF for everyday expenses, especially when travelling outside urban areas.
Most travellers, including citizens from the UK, EU countries, the US, Australia, and South Africa, require a visa to enter Gabon. Visas can often be obtained in advance through a Gabonese embassy or consulate, or via the official e-visa system
Yes. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for all travellers over 1 year old entering Gabon. Malaria is present throughout Gabon, so antimalarial medication and mosquito precautions are strongly advised.

Solo and female travellers should take standard precautions: avoid poorly lit or isolated areas at night, use reputable transport, secure valuables, and stay aware of their surroundings.
