Day 3 – 8: Saturday – Thursday – Fishing at Pte. Ste. Cathérine
Pointe Sainte Cathérine in the north of Loango National Park, is where the lagoon empties into the ocean. This area contains some of the largest game fish in the world, making it an ideal spot for fishing – and only one minute’s walk from your tent!
The sport fishing activities in Loango National Park are concentrated primarily within the lower reaches of the lagoon system (i.e. the estuary mouth and up to 8km upstream), although seasonal changes do make a considerably larger portion of the lagoon's area very prospective. Fishing along the beaches in the surf zone is also productive.
Lodging: Pte. Ste. Cathérine Beach Camp
Day 9: Friday – Flight to Libreville, Gabon
In the morning, approximately at 10h00, you will depart to Omboué, where you will go on a boat ride to Port Gentil. During the boat trip, you will be provided a lunch package from Loango Lodge.
