Forests, grasslands, swamps, mangroves, lagoons, beaches… Loango National Park has got them all. Entering the Park is like looking at a collage of different landscapes. All these exist right next to each other which makes it possible for an impressive range of wildlife to thrive.
One could spot gorillas, chimpanzees, mandrills, elephants and even humpback whales at Loango. Nowhere else in world can you see elephants, hippos and even gorillas foraging on the beach. That would definitely look like a fairy tale.
The Park also has a sizeable crocodile population. The Loango coast has the world’s largest concentration and variety of whales and dolphins after South Africa. Naturalist Michael Fay called Loango ‘Africa’s last Eden’.
