Sea Turtle Night Patrol

Marine turtles have been coming to the beaches of Gabon, São Tomé & Príncipe for millions of years.

Between October and April, four species are known to lay their eggs on our beaches, including the great leatherback. We invite you to accompany our eco-guides on their nightly patrols of the beach to supervise and protect the sea turtles as they crawl ashore to nest.

Witness the fight for survival as the little turtles scramble for the surf, their first steps in a long journey that only ends when they return years later to continue the life cycle on the exact same beach.
