The Moyen-Ogooue is a region of Gabon located in the western part of the country along the Atlantic coast. It is known for its stunning natural beauty featuring lush rainforests, sandy beaches, and mangrove swamps. This area is also home to several national parks, including Loango National Park which boasts some of Gabon's most diverse wildlife and plant species.

Travelers visiting this region won't want to miss out on a trip to Cap Esterias Beach just outside Libreville, where you can find beautiful white sand beaches and crystal clear ocean waters. For those looking for a more cultural experience, visit Mvoumvou Lake in Lambarene where the Pygmy people have lived for thousands of years in perfect harmony with nature.

This region also has an interesting history dating back many centuries before European colonization when it was home to powerful Bantu kingdoms such as Teke and Bakota. Today it remains one of the least developed parts of Gabon with much traditional influence still remaining from these ancient cultures.
