Book cheap flights to Gabon

Gabon has a tropical climate as it is located on the equator. The coast experiences less humidity and you can expect less rain south of the country. You can visit Gabon any time of year. The long dry season occurs from May to September, while the short dry season can be felt from December to January. The temperature averages around 32°C during March. For cheap flights to the capital city of Libreville, visit during the low season (February to April). The chance of high rainfall increases, but there are always days of sunshine to be enjoyed.

Travellers in possession of a South African passport do not require a visa to enter Gabon for stays up to 30 days. Your passport must be valid for a minimum of 6 months beyond the date of your return. Ensure that you have at least 2 blank pages for stamps.
