Best Time To Travel To Gabon

Gabon is a pretty rainy country, due to its location on the equator, it offers up the typical tropical climate. There is a ‘less wet’ season from May to September that we recommend visiting during, where there will be less rainfall. Gabon is filled with wonderful beaches, lush rainforests, and savannahs. Whether you’re visiting national parks to watch leatherback turtles lay their eggs, or see whales, dolphins, elephants, gorillas, or hippos in their natural habitat, Gabon has stunning natural landscapes that are home to all this wildlife and more.
