13 Days Central African Wonders

About the destination: Libreville is the capital and largest city of Gabon, in west central Africa. The city is a port on the Komo River, near the Gulf of Guinea, and a trade center for a timber region. Libreville's greatest asset is, probably, the seafront (bord de mer) where people gather daily to relax by the Atlantic Ocean. All along the seafront you will find some Gabonese sculptures looking over the beach. You could also go in Nzeng-ayong to see the Arboretum de Sybang which is a huge tree sanctuary inside Libreville which groups thousands of local species. The centre is also a nice area to visit, in which you are able to enjoy the nearby ocean breeze.

About the destination: Malabo is the capital of Equatorial Guinea and the province of Bioko Norte. It is located on the north coast of the island of Bioko-island formerly known by the Bubis, its indigenous inhabitants, such as Etulá and Fernando Poo by the Europeans. The official languages ​​of the city, as well as of the whole country, are Spanish (the main language and practically the only one used), French and Portuguese. Malabo is the oldest city in Equatorial Guinea. For this reason you can see a lot of buildings with colonial architecture that at the same time coexist with modern buildings built in the last and recent stage, after independence. The streets of the center, with a square design, reveal the ancient conception of modern city, with pedestrian zones in all of them. The city also offers numerous green and leisure areas. This phenomenon causes a sensation of pressure architecture attenuated by the low stature of the buildings in a combination between architectural westernization and Africanism.

About the destination: Yaoundé is the capital and the second largest city of Cameroon. Yaoundé has some scenic and breath taking sights. So if you love hiking, walking around town from one hill to the next can be very refreshing and enjoyable. The Palais des Sports de Yaoundé Cameroun is the recent center of attraction. It is an indoor sporting complex constructed by Chinese contractors with funding from the Cameroon government.

About the destination: Brazzaville is by far the more laid-back and safer town, though it can also feel like a bit of a backwater by comparison. However, with some attractive modernist architecture, a gorgeous riverside embankment perfect for taking in views of the Congo River and plenty of high-quality eating options, Brazzaville has a lot of charm and character, which makes it a surprisingly pleasant place to while away time between visiting Congo's national parks.
