Gabon
THE LAST GARDEN OF EDEN
Gabon is one of the last untouched wildernesses on the African continent—A thrilling glimpse into West Africa’s untamed coastline—where elephants and buffalo roam wild on sandy shores, gorillas and chimpanzees swing through dense rainforests, hippos ride the waves, and massive fish reign beneath the surface. It’s a place where nature remains untamed, offering a truly raw and immersive experience.
This extraordinary country has captured the attention of the world's leading natural history platforms, including the BBC, Netflix, and National Geographic. But beyond the documentaries, Gabon is an unparalleled destination for those seeking an authentic, wild adventure—one where the landscapes, wildlife, and fishing are nothing short of world-class.
With over three years of guiding and working in Gabon, I can confidently say that any single aspect of this place is reason enough to visit. But the combination of incredible biodiversity, untouched wilderness, and phenomenal fishing makes it an absolute must for nature lovers, adventurers, and families alike. If you’ve ever wanted to explore the true wild heart of Africa, this is it.

Sette Cama - Great Ape Encounter's
Unlike many other destinations in Africa where great ape experiences involve habituated animals, Sette Cama offers the chance of something far more raw and authentic. The chimpanzees and gorillas here are completely wild, meaning every encounter is unique and entirely unscripted. There are no crowds, no queues, and no time restrictions—just you, the rainforest, and the possibility of a breathtaking wildlife moment.
Of course, the unpredictability of these sightings adds to the thrill. There’s always a chance that nature won’t perform on cue, but that’s part of the beauty of the experience. After all, true adventure is about embracing the unknown.
