Loango National Park
Loango National Park
Loango National Park is a rare forest-to-ocean wilderness where forest elephants, buffalo, hippos, gorilla habitat, beaches, lagoons, and Atlantic marine life meet in one of Africa's most unusual wildlife landscapes. It is strongest for travelers seeking a distinctive rainforest-and-coast expedition rather than predictable safari density.
