Getting around
Contents
Boat
There are passenger boats between Lambaréné and Port-Gentil (US$20, about five hours) and between Port-Gentil and Libreville (US$40, about three hours). Inquire at the Maritime Express office on Port Môle.
Car & motorcycle
Cars are available for hire within the city, but not for trips on the dirt roads that lead to destinations outside of the city. Renting a 4WD is difficult without also renting a driver.
Europcar (745845), Hertz (732011) and Avis (724251) have offices in Libreville.
Train
Taking the Transgabonaise train line that crosses the country is a cheaper, faster and far more comfortable option than taking a taxi-brousse.
Local transport
Comically over-packed taxis-brousses, minibuses and pick-up trucks are options for travelling outside Libreville.
Air
Regional flight operators include:
Air Service (747092)
La Nationale (06669077, 031903)
SCD Aviation (564100, 885666; scd-aviation@inet.ga)
