The 800km- (500-mile-) long sandy coastal strip is a series of palm-fringed bays, lagoons and estuaries. The lush tropical vegetation (which covers much of the interior) gives way in parts to the savannah.</p> <p>There are many rivers along which settlements have grown. Many of the Bantu people are concentrated in coastal areas and villages along the banks of the many rivers. The main cities are Libreville, Port Gentil, Lambaréné, Moanda, Oyem, Mouila and Franceville.</p> <p>The Republic of Gabon moved peacefully into independence (from France) in 1960. President Omar Bongo, who succeeded Léon M'Ba as president on the latter's death in 1967 is now one of Africa's longest serving heads of state. In 2003, a change of constitution meant that Bongo could run for office as many times as he wanted and Bongo, now in his 70s, is likely to remain as president for life. Gabon's only problem in the region concerns the island of Mbagne which lies in the Corisco Bay, potentially the site of large oil and gas deposits: occupied by Gabon in 1970, it is also claimed by Equatorial Guinea.</p> <p>But touristic natural resources are likely to centre around features such as stunning white beaches, an abundance of wildlife, including gorillas, panthers, parrots and elephants, and verdant forests.</p><div class="keyfacts"> <div class="key-icon"></div> <h4>Key facts</h4> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Area:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>267,667 sq km (103,347 sq miles).</p></div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Population:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>1,763,142 (UN estimate 2016).</p></div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Population density:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>6.4 per sq km.</p></div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Capital:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>Libreville.</p></div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Government:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>Republic.</p></div> </div> <div class="row info"> <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-4">Head of state:</div> <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-8"><p>Gen.

This may lead to protests and unrest and the situation could change quickly without warning. A curfew is currently in place each night. During periods of unrest, police checks may increase. Make sure you have all required documentation with you and avoid large gatherings. </p> <p>Borders have reopened following the military takeover, but some disruption may happen. Contact your travel provider for more information and follow instructions from local authorities.</p> <p>You should:</p> <ul> <li>follow the advice of the local authorities and your travel provider</li> <li>monitor local media and follow any curfew restrictions</li> <li>remain vigilant and stay indoors where possible</li> <li>avoid protests or large gatherings and any military activity</li> </ul> <h3 id="detention-of-tourists">Detention of tourists</h3> <p>Political and security tensions following the 30 August military coup resulted in some tourists being held and questioned about their reasons for travelling to Gabon. Some individuals had their passports taken and were briefly prevented from leaving the country. While the situation has stabilised, current political and security sensitivities mean that the authorities may treat tourists with heightened scrutiny.</p> <h3 id="protests">Protests</h3> <p>Protests in Gabon are not common but happen on occasion and may turn violent without warning. You should avoid all demonstrations and rallies and remain vigilant during periods of unrest.</p> <h2 id="crime">Crime</h2> <p>There have been incidents of robbery, armed attacks and rape in Gabon.</p> <p>You can take steps to reduce your risk and help protect your belongings, including:</p> <ul> <li>avoiding remote areas, particularly after dark</li> <li>being cautious on quiet or isolated beaches around Libreville, and avoiding them at night</li> <li>not wearing expensive jewellery or carrying large amounts of cash</li> <li>keeping smartphones and other electronic items out of sight</li> <li>keeping car windows shut and doors locked</li> </ul> <h3 id="taxis">Taxis</h3> <p>Taxis in Gabonese cities operate like buses, picking up more passengers if there is room in the car. They often take indirect routes. There have been reports of violent assaults and robberies on taxi passengers. Use licensed taxis, and ask to book the taxi exclusively so it does not pick up other passengers. Check with your tour operator or travel provider if they have a taxi service you can use.</p> <h3 id="carjacking">Carjacking</h3> <p>There have been reports of carjackings in Libreville. If you’re a victim of an attack, stay calm and surrender your valuables and your vehicle if asked.
