Gabon Travel and Vacation – Good to know
Visa requirement: Most travelers need a visa to enter Gabon. You can apply for the visa online or through the Gabonese embassy in your country. The 'Visa on Arrival' option is available for some nationalities, but it is advisable to organize the visa in advance to avoid potential complications.
The Libreville Airport (LBV) is the most important international airport in the country. It offers numerous connections to international destinations. Within Gabon, domestic flights are a fast way to reach remote locations, as the road infrastructure is limited.
The local currency is the CFAP (CFA franc). Cash is required everywhere, as credit cards are often not accepted. It is advisable to withdraw cash from ATMs in larger cities, but make sure to always have enough cash on hand in remote areas. Possible exchange bureaus also offer exchange options for euros and dollars.
Vaccinations against yellow fever are required and will be checked upon entry. It is also recommended to get vaccinated against hepatitis A, typhoid, and malaria. Travel insurance for medical emergencies is essential, as medical care may be limited outside major cities.
To drive in Gabon, you need an international driving permit, as the local license may not be recognized. SIM cards are available in the larger cities, often in mobile phone shops or supermarkets. Compare mobile service providers to find the best rates, and bring your passport for identification.
