Loango National Park

The 1,550-square-kilometer protected area contains beaches, mangroves, rainforests, and savannas between the Nkomi and Ndogo lagoons along the Atlantic coast.

The initial faunal reserves in the region were established in 1956, leading to the official national park designation in 2002 with 13 other parks.

Local communities near the park maintain traditional practices, with women managing gardens growing manioc, peanuts, and mustard greens using slash-and-burn techniques.

The park requires advance reservations for accommodations at Akaka Forest Camp or Evengue Lodge, with guided tours available for wildlife observation.

Forest elephants and hippopotamuses regularly walk along the Atlantic beaches, while humpback whales and sea turtles frequent the coastal waters.
