How to get a Gabon visa from Congo

Gabon is now noted for its efforts to preserve the natural environment. In 2002, President Omar Bongo Ondimba designated roughly 10% of the nation's territory to be part of its national park system (with 13 parks in total), one of the largest proportions of natural parkland in the world.

Gabon's history is similar to that of other former French colonies in Africa. The culture is highly influenced, not only by its ethnic background and proximity to other West African nations but also by French control. Dance, song, myths, and poetry are important elements of Gabonese life.

Gabon is, overall, not that safe to visit. If you decide to go to Gabon, you should be aware that crime, poor road conditions, interruptions to power, and poor water quality are just some of the things tourists will have a problem with.

Almost all Gabonese are of Bantu origin. Gabon has at least 40 ethnic groups, with separate languages and cultures. The largest ethnicity is Fang (about 30%). Other ethnic groups include the Nzebi, Myene, Bandjabi, Eshira, Bapounou, Bateke/Obamba, and Bakota.

Gabon is not a developed nation yet. It is classified as an upper-middle-income country by the world bank. It is, however, the most urbanized country in Africa, with a high literacy rate and a fair HDI (Human Development Index) with free healthcare and free education.
