River Lodge

Gabon


Modern two-storey wooden cottages look out onto the river or the beach here. It's an idyllic setting with palm trees and a pool. The beach-side restaurant gets good reviews. There are jet skis, quad bikes and paddle boards for hire. The lodge's own navette (passenger boat) will collect you from Michel Marine (return CFA10,000).

It also arranges excursions using National Park guides.
