Getting There

Car
From Port-Gentil, head southwest on Avenue du 17 Août towards Rue de l'Indépendance. Continue onto the N1 highway. After approximately 35 kilometers, watch for signs directing you to Ndogo Lagoon. Turn onto a smaller road leading directly to the lagoon area. The journey typically takes around 45 minutes, depending on traffic and road conditions. Due to the remote location, taxis or ride-sharing services may be limited or unavailable. It is advisable to arrange transportation in advance. Car hire is available from main hotels and airports in Gabon, although they tend to be expensive. An International Driving Permit and international insurance are required. Road travel during the rainy season (October to mid-December and mid-February to May) is generally inadvisable due to poor road conditions.
