Réserve de la Lopé, Gabon

Displayed:   times.

The easiest wildlife reserve to get to is Réserve de la Lopé. This is the best place in the country to see wildlife, but you need your own vehicle to explore the park - you're not allowed in on foot and budget travellers are not well catered for (camping is not allowed inside the park).

Established in 1982, the park consists of open savannah and small but dense forests beside the riverbeds. Except during the rainy season, the animals tend to favour the dense forest and you won't see much other than buffalo. The reserve is about 200km (125mi) east of Libreville and borders both the road and the Transgabonais railway line.
