Outside protected areasby Lopé Hotel
A solar-powered eco-lodge on the edge of Lopé National Park, a UNESCO site of savannah and forest above the Ogooué River, reached by train from Libreville. It is a base for safari drives and for mandrill tracking, where researchers locate collared hordes that can number several hundred and visitors wait in a portable hide.
