Sibang Arboretum
Arboretum de Sibang
An urban forest on the eastern side of the city, preserving patches of native tropical forest and century-old trees. It's a green space where residents walk and birdwatch.
Sibang Arboretum lies in the Sibang district on the eastern side of the city. It was once land used for forestry research. It still holds tall native trees such as okoumé and iroko, along with understory plants. A simple trail winds through it, where residents often exercise in the mornings and students come for nature lessons. Though not large, it is one of the few places in the city where you can experience the atmosphere of Gabon's rainforest. Early morning is ideal for birdwatching. Opening hours are not fixed, so ask locals before you go.
