Gabon is a destination for the tourist looking for the path less trodden. With sprawling rainforests teeming with wildlife and glitzy sophisticated cities, this is a land of contrasts. Lush greenery, deep river valleys, tropical rainforests, coastal woodlands and savannah grasslands, Mother Nature has been generous in Gabon. The region is particularly noted for tribal culture, woodcarvings and the typical Fang masks are known to have inspired the likes of Picasso and Matisse.
