Réserve de Wonga Wongué, Protected reserve on the northwest coast of Gabon.

The Wonga Wongué Reserve encompasses 500,000 hectares of sand plateaus, forests, savannas, mangroves, and wetlands along the Atlantic Ocean coast.

The Gabonese government established Wonga Wongué as a Presidential Reserve in 1976 to safeguard its diverse wildlife populations and natural ecosystems.

Indigenous communities near the reserve maintain traditional practices while participating in local conservation programs to protect the natural environment.

Visitors can reach the reserve through organized tours from Libreville, which include a coastal boat ride followed by a 45-minute drive on unpaved roads.

The reserve houses populations of lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, elephants, and provides nesting grounds for sea turtles along its white sand beaches.
