map of Gabon [ Africa ]
Gabon (/ɡəˈbɒn/; French pronunciation: [ɡabɔ̃]), officially the Gabonese Republic (French: République gabonaise), is a country on the west coast of Central Africa. Located on the equator, Gabon is bordered by Equatorial Guinea to the northwest, Cameroon to the north, the Republic of the Congo on the east and south, and the Gulf of Guinea to the west. It has an area of nearly 270,000 square kilometres (100,000 sq mi) and its population is estimated at 2.1 million people. There are three distinct regions: the coastal plains, the mountains (the Cristal Mountains and the Chaillu Massif in the centre), and the savanna in the east. Gabon's capital and largest city is Libreville. The official language is French.
Originally settled by Pygmy peoples, they were largely replaced and absorbed by Bantu tribes as they migrated. By the 18th century, a Myeni-speaking kingdom known as the Kingdom of Orungu formed in Gabon. It was able to become a powerful trading center mainly due to its ability to purchase and sell slaves. The kingdom fell with the demise of the slave trade in the 1870s. Since its independence from France in 1960, the sovereign state of Gabon has had three presidents. In the early 1990s, Gabon introduced a multi-party system and a new democratic constitution that allowed for a more transparent electoral process and reformed many governmental institutions.
Abundant petroleum and foreign private investment have helped make Gabon one of the most prosperous countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the fifth highest HDI[7] in the region (after Mauritius, Seychelles, Botswana and South Africa) and the fifth highest GDP per capita (PPP) in all of Africa (after Seychelles, Mauritius, Equatorial Guinea and Botswana). Its GDP grew by more than 6% per year from 2010 to 2012.
Gabon is rich in folklore and mythology. Raconteurs keep traditions alive such as the mvett among the Fangs and the ingwala among the Nzebis. Gabon is also known for its masks, such as the n'goltang (Fang) and the reliquary figures of the Kota. mapa de Gabon Africa Gabon is divided into nine provinces, which are further subdivided into 50 departments. The president appoints the provincial governors, the prefects, and the subprefects.
The provinces are (capitals in parentheses):
Estuaire (Libreville)
Haut-Ogooué (Franceville)
Moyen-Ogooué (Lambaréné)
Ngounié (Mouila)
Nyanga (Tchibanga)
Ogooué-Ivindo (Makokou)
Ogooué-Lolo (Koulamoutou)

Beach scene in Gabon
Gabon is located on the Atlantic coast of central Africa on the equator, between latitudes 3°N and 4°S, and longitudes 8° and 15°E. Gabon generally has an equatorial climate with an extensive system of rainforests, with 89.3% of its land area forested.[16]
There are three distinct regions: the coastal plains (ranging between 20 and 300 km [10 and 190 mi] from the ocean's shore), the mountains (the Cristal Mountains to the northeast of Libreville, the Chaillu Massif in the centre), and the savanna in the east. The coastal plains form a large section of the World Wildlife Fund's Atlantic Equatorial coastal forests ecoregion and contain patches of Central African mangroves especially on the Muni River estuary on the border with Equatorial Guinea.
Geologically, Gabon is primarily ancient Archean and Paleoproterozoic igneous and metamorphic basement rock, belonging to the stable continental crust of the Congo Craton, a remnant section of extremely old continental crust. Some formations are more than two billion years old. Ancient rock units are overlain by marine carbonate, lacustrine and continental sedimentary rocks as well as unconsolidated sediments and soils that formed in the last 2.5 million years of the Quaternary. The rifting apart of the supercontinent Pangaea created rift basins that filled with sediments and formed the hydrocarbons which are now a keystone of the Gabonese economy.[18] Gabon is notable for the Oklo reactor zones, the only known natural nuclear fission reactor on Earth which was active two billion years ago. The site was discovered during uranium mining in the 1970s to supply the French nuclear power industry.
Gabon's largest river is the Ogooué which is 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) long. Gabon has three karst areas where there are hundreds of caves located in the dolomite and limestone rocks. Some of the caves include Grotte du Lastoursville, Grotte du Lebamba, Grotte du Bongolo, and Grotte du Kessipougou.
Gabon is also noted for efforts to preserve the natural environment. In 2002, President Omar Bongo Ondimba designated roughly 10% of the nation's territory to be part of its national park system (with 13 parks in total), one of the largest proportions of nature parkland in the world. The National Agency for National Parks manages Gabon's national park system. Gabon had a 2018

While I constantly try to find the positives in every place I visit, there are a few nations that I just simply didn't enjoy.
The country of BRUNEI is one of them.
I went to Brunei back in 2014, three years before I made videos, but my negative experiences in the country have stuck in my mind ever since. That, combined with its absurd human rights laws such as stoning to death LGBT members, I felt like this video needed to be shared with the world.
Have you ever visited any countries that you didn't enjoy? Please share below, I'm curious to know.

MAPA DE GABÓN
saludos mis amigos. este es un mapa de Gabón. Se encuentra en la costa atlántica de África central en el ecuador. Gabón tiene un clima ecuatorial con un sistema de selvas tropicales, con el 89,3% de su superficie boscosa.
Hay llanuras costeras (entre 20 y 300 km de la orilla del océano), las montañas (las Montañas de Cristal al noreste de Libreville, el Macizo Chaillu en el centro) y la sabana en el este. Las llanuras costeras forman una sección de la ecorregión de bosques costeros ecuatoriales del Atlántico del Fondo Mundial para la Naturaleza y contienen parches de manglares de África Central, incluso en el estuario del río Muni en la frontera con Guinea Ecuatorial. El francés es el único idioma oficial. Se estima que el 80% de la población puede hablar francés y que el 30% de los residentes de Libreville son hablantes nativos del idioma.
A nivel nacional, la mayoría de los gaboneses hablan lenguas indígenas, según su grupo étnico, mientras que esta proporción es menor que en la mayoría de los demás países del África subsahariana.
Su río más grande es el Ogooué que tiene 1.200 kilómetros de largo. Tiene 3 zonas kársticas donde hay cientos de cuevas ubicadas en las rocas dolomitas y calizas. eso es todo por ahora. Gracias por su atención. por favor comente y suscríbase para los mejores mapas. adiós.
salutations mes amis. c'est une carte du Gabon. Il est situé sur la côte atlantique de l'Afrique centrale à l'équateur. Le Gabon a un climat équatorial avec un système de forêts tropicales, avec 89,3% de sa superficie boisée.
Il y a les plaines côtières (s'étendant entre 20 et 300 km du rivage de l'océan), les montagnes (les Monts de Cristal au nord-est de Libreville, le Massif du Chaillu au centre), et la savane à l'est. Les plaines côtières forment une section de l' écorégion des forêts côtières équatoriales atlantiques du Fonds mondial pour la nature et contiennent des parcelles de mangroves d'Afrique centrale, y compris sur l'estuaire de la rivière Muni à la frontière avec la Guinée équatoriale. Le français est la seule langue officielle. On estime que 80% de la population peut parler français et que 30% des habitants de Libreville sont des locuteurs natifs de la langue.
Au niveau national, une majorité des Gabonais parlent des langues autochtones, selon leur groupe ethnique, alors que cette proportion est plus faible que dans la plupart des autres pays d'Afrique subsaharienne.
Son plus grand fleuve est l'Ogooué long de 1 200 kilomètres. Il dispose de 3 zones karstiques où se trouvent des centaines de grottes situées dans les roches dolomitiques et calcaires. c'est tout pour le moment.
