Party Gabon: Libreville by Night and Wild Parties
Seven days of fun in Gabon combining Libreville's nightlife, camp parties at Pongara and the beach kiosks of Cap Estérias.
Description
Gabon is not just nature: it also has a vibrant nightlife. It begins in Libreville, where the clubs of Quartier Louis and the terraces of the Waterfront offer everything from afrobeats to coupé-décalé. Restaurants that turn into clubs at midnight and DJs until dawn. The Mont-Bouët market is perfect for shopping for party clothes with Gabonese wax fabrics. The adventure moves to Pongara, a coastal national park where camp parties are legendary: bonfires facing the Atlantic, fish barbecues and a starry sky you could never imagining in the city. Leatherback turtles add magic to the nights. The last stop is Cap Estérias, the trendiest beach area, with mojito kiosks, seafood barbecues and impromptu sound systems on the sand. Seven days to discover that Gabon has as much nightlife as rainforest.
