    MORE INFO

    Libraville refers to Libreville, Gabon’s capital and the country’s center for government, oil-sector activity, diplomacy, aviation, healthcare, and international business. It is a green, humid Atlantic city with beachfront roads, selected upscale districts, restaurants, and access to remarkable national parks and coastal ecosystems. Costs for foreigners are high because housing, imports, cars, utilities, and quality services are expensive. Libreville suits consultants, energy professionals, diplomats, conservation workers, and experienced Africa-based remote workers more than budget nomads.
