Select the country and object's type Loango National Park

Loango National Park is one of the 13 national parks declared in 2002 by the late president Omar Bongo Ondimba. This coastline park covers some 1,550 square kilometres and is famous for its variety of unspoiled landscapes, forest elephants and buffalos, lowland gorillas and chimpanzees. Some of these can be seen from time to time –uniquely on Earth –on the Atlantic Ocean’s tropical beaches.

Rombout Swanborn – owner of Africa’s Eden – said during his visit to Loango Lodge on Sunday 4 September: “We are discussing with representatives of the Gabonese government the possibility to expand our conservation activities. These possible activities include a littoral ecology research centre to be based next to Loango Lodge and the expansion of Africa’s Eden’s investments in tourism activities in Gabon by developing other lodges in the country’s National Parks.
