Libreville Travel Safety Guide — Gabon

Safety Score: 6.5/10 · Value: 7/10 · Beauty: 6.7/10

Libreville is the capital of Gabon, one of Africa's more prosperous nations thanks to substantial oil and manganese reserves, giving it a higher per capita income than most of sub-Saharan Africa. The city sits on the Komo River estuary where it meets the Atlantic, surrounded by equatorial rainforest that covers 88% of the country. Gabon is notable for its environmental stewardship: 13% of land is protected national parks, including Lopé (UNESCO), home to forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, and mandrills. Libreville itself is relatively safe, well-serviced, and serves as the gateway to these extraordinary natural assets.
