Tassi-Louri Tented Camp - Gabon - Loango National Park

The Tassi/Louri area is an attractive mosaic of savannah, forest, swamp, and small coastal lagoons all in proximity to an endless stretch of beach. Getting there is a scenic, one-hour, drive from Loango Lodge. The area's diverse habitat ensures that most of the common wildlife can be seen all year and forest elephant, forest buffalo, red river hog and sitatunga can be regularly sighted from the camp itself. During the rainy season months of October to April, elephant and buffalo often feed on the grassland adjacent to the beach.

Lying out in the savannah, Tassi Camp spans an ancient beach ridge catching the ocean breeze and giving it an elevated, 360º view of the surrounding landscape. It has an ambience of space and a more classical 'Africa feel' not easily found in Central Africa. The lounge/restaurant deck is sheltered by a big tree and the five tent platforms are shaded with palm thatch and spread along a ridge. Each dome tent is comfortably outfitted, can sleep two, and has its own private bathroom with toilet and bucket shower. The Tassi area has a healthy population of western lowland gorilla and chimpanzee and has been chosen by the Max Planck Institute as an area in which to undertake a great ape habituation and research project.
