Our Story & Our Mission
Discover Gabon Wild & Green's commitment to preserving Gabon's biodiversity through exceptional ecotourism.
Our Story
Founded in 2010, Gabon Wild & Green was born from the passion of a group of Gabonese naturalists and entrepreneurs for preserving their country's exceptional biodiversity. Convinced that tourism could drive conservation, they created a unique organisation combining scientific expertise with travel know-how.
Over the years, we have built strong partnerships with local communities, government authorities and international conservation organisations. These partnerships allow us to offer authentic experiences that directly benefit the protection of Gabon's ecosystems.
Today, Gabon Wild & Green is recognised as a benchmark for ecotourism in Central Africa, with more than 15 years of experience designing responsible journeys in the heart of Gabon's unspoilt ecosystems.
