Accommodation: Tassi Savannah Camp
Tassi, in Loango National Park, is one of the last few places on earth where large mammals can still roam freely on the beach. Here, during the rainy season, buffaloes and forest elephants can often be found grazing on the coastal grasslands and the beach. Occasionally, families of gorillas can also be spotted foraging in the trees alongside the beach. Many of the Gabonese beaches provide a significant habitat for migrant shorebirds, including African skimmers and Damara terns, whose numbers are quickly diminishing across the rest of Africa.
Facilities
Tassi Savannah Camp is located close to the beach, surrounded by primary and secondary forest. The wide-open vistas here are a sight not easily found elsewhere in densely forested Central Africa.
Things to see and do
The attractive patchwork of savannah, forest, swamp, and small coastal lagoons in proximity to an endless stretch of beach is perfect for turning adventurous. Discover the camp’s various surroundings on one of our guided walks, stroll on the beach or kayak on Louri Lagoon.
When to go
Tassi Savannah Camp is open during the rainy season from October until April.
