Mwagna National Park, located in northeastern Gabon near the Republic of Congo border, spans 1,160 square kilometers. The park is known for its rich mineral soils that attract wildlife such as elephants, apes, giant forest hogs, and various antelopes. It is also home to the Gabon viper, unique spiders, stinging ferns, and rare bird species. Despite its inaccessibility and few human inhabitants, a road runs from Makokou to Mékambo and on to Malouma. From there, visitors must walk 14 km to reach the park.
