Minkébé National Park, National park in Woleu-Ntem Province, Gabon.
The national park extends across 7,570 square kilometers of dense rainforest, featuring four major rivers and ancient granite mountains called inselbergs.
The Fang people inhabited this region before its designation as a provisional reserve in 2000 and official national park establishment in 2002.
The name originates from the Fang language word 'minkegbe,' which translates to valleys or ditches in the local dialect.
Visitors need to arrange transportation and guides through designated agencies due to limited infrastructure and remote location of the park.
The forest houses one of Africa's largest elephant populations, with more than 30,000 individuals residing within its boundaries.
