Libreville Walking Tour

Libreville, Gabon

Why Walk Libreville

Libreville sits on the Komo River estuary where it meets the Atlantic, backed by dense equatorial rainforest. Founded by liberated enslaved people in 1849 — hence the name meaning 'liberated town' — it has grown into a modern capital with a breezy waterfront. The city serves as the gateway to Lope National Park and other reserves where western lowland gorillas roam.
