This twelve-day tour can welcome you all year long. You will be met
at the Libreville airport and taken to your hotel. The next day you
will take the train to the National Lopé Park going along the
magnificent Ogooué Valley, and you will stop at the Lopé
Hotel at the foot of Mount Brazza.
The park can be visited in a 4-wheel drive allowing you to look for
herds of red buffaloes and elephants, antelopes, red river hogs and
birds, and then to go on foot to see the smaller mammals and monkeys.

The Mikongo Camp – 1.5 hours from the hotel, is a gathering
center for primates, and also the base for the Ecofac researchers
who will be pleased to speak to you about the forest and behaviour
you should have while walking through the forest.
For two days, accompanied by guides, you will go looking for big
game and especially the big primates: gorillas, chimpanzees, mandrills.
An extra stop will take you to the Ololo Camp in the heart of the
park up the Offoué River. |

Here also fascinating paths will allow you to find the
primates, and especially, the cercopithecus solatus – the sun-tailed
monkey, endemic to this region.
You will then go down the Offoué River in a dugout canoe, surprising
the animals that live on the river banks. It is not rare to see a gorilla
on this river trip.
Back at the Lopé Hotel, you can then take a lovely trip in a
dugout canoe down the Ogooué River to the site of the cave drawings.
You then return to Libreville by train, have a short rest, and fly off
to the little town of Omboué.
