Things to see and do Ogooue-Lolo And Haut-Ogooue

50 km from Léconi, on the road to the green canyon. We cross the village of Sayé, also to visit.

15 km from Léconi.

At the entrance to the city, by taking on the right, we descend towards the bridge that crosses the Ogooué to enjoy the view on the river and the Fetish island. Once again, when the place was still called Mandji, "thieves and adulteresses from the State Duma and Wandji countries were enslaved and stored on the Fetish Island, before being sold to Okandé, which went to Lambaréné to sell them to Aloa." Even today, Fetish Island keeps the local population a part of the mystery that deters people from getting there.

In Kessala, an association has set up an eco-tourism project to support visitors and allow them to stay in the village. A 4 x 4 vehicle is required to go to the village (1 hour 30 min). At the moment it is possible to accommodate 4 people (2 double beds) on the floor and 2 people downstairs under the tent. The project no longer seems operational: find out. Possible excursion in dry season: the Chutes falls, 10 km south of Franceville and not far from the village of Kessala. Find out about the existence of this benefit.

At the entrance to Léconi, this small beach in the heart of lush greenery lives up to its name! It is bordered by a river of remarkably clear water, originating from the Batékés plateau and used by Sobraga for its Andza water. From the bridge, you can even see the fish swimming! Makeshift huts have been set up on the bank, allowing picnics in the shade. In the late afternoon, children and teenagers have fun jumping off the bridge. The site is very pleasant and relaxing, but it's a pity it's not better maintained.
