Njolé Travel Guide

Edit Section - Njolé Travel Guide - Hotels & Restaurants

Njolé is a large town on the south-north route of northern Gabon. It is a popular place to stop over for the night, judged by the many hotels and restaurants that line its main drag. You can get a good meal here and even an air-conditioned room. Indeed... after a full day of navigating potholes, Njolé is heaven-sent.

Njolé is along the Ogowe River, a mighty river that is fed by tributaries deep in the jungle. Mary Kingsley, a crazy British insect collector of the 1800s once navigated the rapids of the river in search of bugs. She has many colorful narratives about her encounters with the Fan people and her near brushes with death in the name of science and anthropology. In particular, she admired the rocks along the river, the forested hillsides and little beaches of glistening white sand that "was one of the most perfect things I have ever seen."

With a little luck, you may be able to find a fisherman to take you to explore the river from Njolé.
