Trip Report – Gabon Wildlife Adventure – Royle Safaris – June & July 2025 (Two Trips)

Once again Royle Safaris was back in Gabon during the summer mandrill breeding season, in 2025 we ran two trips back to back and once again the itineraries were focused around the mandrill’s breeding season the trip would visit three of the best wildlife watching locations in the whole of Central Africa. Starting with a an optional pre-tour extension to Ivindo National Park which nearly all of the participants chose to book and then visiting Lope National Park and then finishing in Loango National Park.

Alongside the mandrills other key species seen were western gorillas, red-capped mangabeys, African forest elephants and black colobus. However with the expert help of our tour leader (Ewan Davies) and local guides at each location we were also able to see lesser seen species such as Lord Derby’s anomalure, long-nosed mongoose, western yellow-backed duiker, black-fronted duiker, white-legged duiker, western palm squirrel, Gabon squirrel galago, northern talapoins, red-nosed rat and several bat species (7 species).

We have places available on our 2027 Gabon Wildlife Adventure if anyone is interested please contact us on info@royle-safaris.co.uk for more information or find out more on our website (https://www.royle-safaris.co.uk/itineraries/gabon-wildlife-adventure/).
