About Ivindo National Park

Ivindo National Park
 

Ivindo National Park, located in the eastern part of Gabon, is a sprawling natural reserve famed for its lush rainforests, dramatic waterfalls, and unparalleled biodiversity. It spans over 741,000 acres and is part of the Congo Basin, one of the world's most critical ecosystems. The park is home to rare and unique species such as the African forest elephant, western lowland gorilla, and a variety of antelope species. The park's crown jewel is the Kongou Falls, one of the most powerful waterfalls in Africa, where visitors can experience the raw force of nature. Despite its remote location, Ivindo is a haven for ecotourism, gaining attention from adventure travelers for hiking, wildlife photography, and camping under the rainforest canopy. First established as a protected area in 2002, Ivindo has become an essential part of preserving Gabon's natural heritage and is a key player in the global effort to conserve rainforests.
