Mayumba National Park- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Mayumba National Park, located in southwestern Gabon, spans 60 kilometers of vital leatherback turtle nesting beaches and a diverse landscape of beaches, dunes, savanna, and rainforest. Stretching from Mayumba to the Congo border, the park is home to a variety of terrestrial wildlife, including forest elephants, buffaloes, leopards, gorillas, chimpanzees, and antelopes. It also protects crucial marine ecosystems 15 kilometers offshore, supporting populations of dolphins, sharks, and migrating humpback whales. As Gabon's only predominantly marine park, Mayumba plays a key role in the preservation of both terrestrial and marine biodiversity.
