Die letzten Tage unserer Gabun-Reise verbrachten wir in Libreville. Wir hatten uns allerdings noch einen Ausflug vorgenommen, nämlich in den Foret de Mondah, ein Waldgebiet am nördlichen Ende der Halbinsel, auf der auch Libreville liegt. Jenseits dieser Halbinsel beginnt bereits Äquatorialguinea. Teile des Mondah-Waldes waren in der Vergangenheit gerodet und landwirtschaftlich genutzt worden, bevor das Gebiet unter Schutz gestellt und wieder aufgeforstet worden war. Weiterlesen

From Mouila, we took a shared taxi via Ndendé to Tchibanga in the south. There were three women and a man with us, and the youngest of the women was a shy adolescent without a decent passport.

After we had passed the junction with the dirt road to the girl’s village, it got worse. Weiterlesen

When you get off the plane as a northern or middle European in Libreville, it is like walking against a wall. It is the extreme humidity that hits you like a weight packed upon your chest. At least I felt so when we arrived at Libreville at half past seven in the evening, after a long day with flights from Frankfurt to Paris and Paris to Libreville with Air France. After having watched former Rugby players throwing around our luggage on the airfield of Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. Just before we discovered all the holes in the rain covers of our backpacks as well as in my backpack itself. Weiterlesen
