Crystal Mountains National Park
Start Planning
The north-western part of Gabon, where the Crystal Mountains National Park is located, has been classified as a protected area to preserve the greatest concentration of botanical species in the sub-region. The park's two forest blocks, the Mbé sector and Mont Séni, boast the greatest plant diversity per unit area on the continent, and many of these plants are endemic. The presence of various orchid species completes this already impressive picture. The park's rugged, eroded topography has created a landscape of steep peaks separated by deep valleys. On the peaks, the tops of the tall trees disappear into the clouds, creating a microclimate that makes the area Gabon's water tower. The regularity of rainfall favours the presence of a dense hydrographic network which, combined with the relief, explains the presence of numerous waterfalls.
The hydroelectric dams installed in the region draw their power from the rivers to supply electricity to the Gabonese capital. However, the park also has other attractions: visitors can swim in the natural pools and rivers, hike along the trails and admire the waterfalls.
Your accommodations at Camp Medzine Assock are fully-equipped villas that welcome groups and families.
You will be transported to the site by 4×4 vehicle.
