Airtel Gabon and Moov Africa (ex-Gabon Telecom) are the two main operators. 4G coverage across Libreville (capital), Port-Gentil (oil hub), Franceville and Lambaréné. Airtel has the largest market share and nationwide coverage. The forested interior (Loango, Lopé, Ivindo) has very limited coverage — tourist lodges typically have satellite Wi-Fi but the equatorial forest between them is offline. Atlantic coast (Pointe-Denis, Mayumba) has 4G in main towns. Ogooué river has coverage near Lambaréné. No commercial 5G. Political situation remains in transition post-2023 (Bongo ousted by military). Type C/E French plugs, 220V/50Hz.
Fly into Libreville-Léon Mba (LBV); taxi to center ~15-25 USD. Currency Central African CFA franc (XAF), ~625 XAF per USD (fixed peg to euro, different from West African XOF). Gabon is pricier than neighbors due to oil economy — dinner 15-30 USD, mid-range hotel 80-200 USD. Nature is the main draw: Loango National Park (surfing hippos, whales), Lopé, Ivindo (Kongou Falls, gorillas), remote beaches. Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné is historic. Visa required (e-visa available). English very limited — French essential.
