From tracking hundreds of mandrills through the rainforest and searching for western lowland gorillas to snorkeling off volcanic islands and tasting locally produced chocolate, Rebecca shares an adventure that combines wildlife conservation, remote national parks, tropical beaches, and Portuguese colonial history.
Rebecca spent approximately two and a half weeks exploring the region, including nine days in Gabon and seven nights in São Tomé and Príncipe. She recommends Gabon for its extraordinary wildlife and largely untouched rainforests, while São Tomé and Príncipe offer a more relaxed mix of beaches, chocolate plantations, diving, and ecotourism.
