From day to day the trip looks as follows:
Day 1. Departure from Schiphol in the evening. The night flight with Royal Air Maroc requires a change in Casablanca.
Day 2. Arrival in Libreville in the morning. During the day we will stay in hotel Tropicana, which is situated on the beach and also known for its good kitchen. In the evening we will take the nighttrain (the Transgabonais) to Gare d'Ivindo.
Dag 3. In Gare d'Ivindo the people of the WCS will receive us. They will take us by 4x4 to the point closest to the WCS camp, which can still be reached by car. From there we have another 8 km to go on foot to the WCS camp.
Dag 4 - 11. For a week long we will keep onto a certain daily schedule to visit the bai and pass the day at the bai. We leave early in the morning and come back in the afternoon or we leave later and come back by evening. It is very important to stay together in a group, because even on the stretch of 3 km between the camp and the bai it is possible to get lost. In the evening we prepare the meal and enjoy the forestsounds.
Dag 12. Early in the morning we will go to the bai for a last time. Then we will walk the 8 km through the forest to the point where the 4x4 will take us to Gare d'Ivindo. For the night we use WCS facilities.
Dag 13. This time we take the daytrain; we expect the Transgabonais around half past 10 at the station. In Libreville we again stay at the Tropicana hotel.
Dag 14 - 15 We take our time, 2 days, to recover. For those who wish to, we visit the large Mont-Bouët market in Libreville and the National Museum. The beach at the Tropicana is also an attractive alternative. In the evening we depart Gabon, again with a night flight.
