   The home of “Africa’s Last Eden,” Gabon, sandwiched between Congo and Cameroon on the continent’s central Atlantic coast, may not have an ecotourism infrastructure like hot spots Botswana or Kenya. What Gabon does have, however, are 13 unspoiled national parks that cover 10% of the country. (Independent from France since only 1960, Gabon is considered by the U.N. to be a global leader in fighting climate change.)

   加蓬是「非洲最後的伊甸園」，夾在剛果和喀麥隆之間，位於非洲大陸的中部大西洋海岸，可能沒有像熱點地區波札那或肯亞那樣的生態旅遊基礎設施。然而，加蓬確實有 13 個未受破壞的國家公園，覆蓋全國 10% 的土地。（自 1960 年從法國獨立以來，加蓬被聯合國認為是應對氣候變化的全球領導者）。

   Loango National Park, a 35-minute flight from Léon-Mba International Airport in the capital city of Libreville, followed by a three-and-a-half hour car or boat ride, is one of the few places on the planet where rainforest meets ocean, which means that in those 380,000 acres, visitors can see an extraordinarily diverse array of animals from water to land to sky, including elephants, leopards, humpback whales, buffalo, gorillas, leatherback turtles, 355 bird species, and the “surfing hippos” that wowed President Obama in last year’s Our Great National Parks streaming docuseries.

   從首都自由市的萊昂．姆巴國際機場出發，飛行 35 分鐘，然後乘車或乘船 3 個半小時，隆戈國家公園是地球上為數不多的雨林與海洋相遇的地方之一，這意味著在這 38 萬英畝的土地上，遊客可以看到從水到陸地到天空的各種動物，包括大象、豹子、座頭鯨、水牛、大猩猩、棱皮龜、355 種鳥類，以及在去年《我們偉大的國家公園》流媒體專題片中令奧巴馬總統驚歎的「衝浪河馬」。

   Luxury cruise company Swan Hellenic will for the first time include those hippo-frequented beaches of Loango in its Unspoilt Wilds of Southwest Africa spring cruise. And those wanting to stay inside the park will have an easier time finding a bed this year, with additional tents being added to the newly opened N’dola, a luxury tented camp, and Akaka, a rustic jungle lodge that’s recently expanded. Western lowland gorilla treks are offered through the fully visitor-financed Max Planck Institute. Limited to four people and two guides, the daily treks are a unique chance to glimpse gorillas’ social behavior and feeding habits.

   豪華遊輪公司 Swan Hellenic 將首次把河馬經常出沒的隆戈海灘納入其「西南非洲未受污染的荒野」春季遊輪之旅。而那些想在公園內住宿的人今年將更容易找到床位，新開的豪華帳篷營地 N'dola 和最近擴建的鄉村叢林旅館 Akaka 都增加了帳篷。西部低地大猩猩徒步旅行是通過完全由遊客資助的馬克斯．普朗克研究所提供的。每天的徒步旅行僅限四人與兩名導遊，這是瞥見大猩猩的社會行為和進食習慣的獨特機會。
