An ideal location

Located right on the fishing grounds, Bangué Lodge provides quick access to a wide variety of fishing areas. North Point, South Point, the channel, Trou aux Rouges and numerous spots throughout the lagoon offer plenty of options depending on the conditions of the day, including tides, currents and fish activity.

Fish more,
pollute less.

All our guests agree: being able to start fishing so quickly is a real privilege. You can target tarpon with your feet in the sand and be back at camp shortly after your session. At low tide, North Point at the mouth of the lagoon can even be reached on foot. Trevallies also regularly hunt right in front of the camp, within casting distance.

The Iguéla lagoon

It is one of the six main lagoons and rivers renowned for fishing for Gabon’s large coastal fish: Mayumba, Nyanga, Sette Cama, Iguéla, Olendé and Ozouri.

The village of Tchongorové is the heart of local community life. It can be reached by 4×4 from Port Gentil via Omboué.

The Iguéla lagoon borders the northern part of Loango National Park, one of Gabon’s largest natural areas, home to an exceptionally rich diversity of wildlife and plant life. Visitors from around the world come here to experience the safaris and hikes organised throughout the park.

And, of course, for anglers seeking record catches, the lagoon offers a unique fishing and human experience in the heart of Africa.
