Cristal Mountain

Libreville, Gabon

The Monts de Cristal, virgin and unspoilt. One of the least accessible to humans parks, National Park Crystal Mountains, with an area of ​​1,200 km2, consists of large blocks of rainforest with reliefs from 200 to over 900 meters. At altitude, clouds and mists, almost constant, create favorable conditions for the development of plants eager for moisture, such as orchids.

There are even plants that have not been identified. The Crystal Mountains are considered by many botanists to have the greatest plant diversity throughout Africa. These mountains are also home to a unique diversity of rare and colorful butterflies.

The number of butterfly species is one of the highest in Africa. But the Crystal Mountains are not the property of the smallest. Large charismatic mammals such as mandrills and elephants also live there. The park is known internationally for its biological richness, and we invite you to discover this special place.
