Gabon, the Eden of Africa
Gabon is a country of amazing landscapes and biodiversity, much of which has yet to be discovered or exploited.
Although almost 75% of its surface is covered by a dense tropical forest, this equatorial country is also full of endless white sand beaches, savannah, rivers, streams, hidden lagoons, plateaus and rocky gorges, all of which are home to an impressive variety of flora and fauna.
Traveling to this former French colony is a transformative experience, almost initiatory.
With simple people who have opened their doors to me to show their culture.
I am now writing the last page of the diary thinking about what I have experienced: an immersion in the overflowing wild nature, the encounter with the spiritual tradition of the Bwiti and with the mystical beliefs that permeate a large part of the population, and the absence of tourism massive.
All this means that, after an expedition through these lands, I feel that I have traveled in time, that I have lived a kind of return to the roots of man.
