Port-Gentil

Port-Gentil is on Gabon's Coastal Plain.

Understand
Port-Gentil is Gabon's workhorse with offshore oil rigs and port activities humming around the city. Interestingly, Port-Gentil has no roadway connections with the rest of Gabon, and sits on a peninsula (island actually, if you consider that it is cut off from the mainland by the delta of the Ogooue River).

Get in
The connection with the rest of the world is maintained through * with transit to Libreville, and marine links, including a ferry service to Lambarene across the Ogooue River.

Get around
Taxis are available.

Sleep
Because of the oil and gas operations, lodging is kind of expensive here.
