What to pack for Gabon in the winter

When packing for winter in Gabon, it is important to consider the warm and humid climate of the country.

Lightweight, breathable clothing made from natural fibers such as cotton and linen is ideal for staying cool and comfortable during the day. Since temperatures can still be warm during the day, pack short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and lightweight pants.

In the evenings, a light sweater or jacket may be necessary as temperatures can cool down slightly. It is also recommended to bring a pair of sturdy walking shoes or sandals for exploring the country's diverse landscapes. Don't forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong equatorial sun.

Additionally, insect repellent and long sleeves may be necessary to protect against mosquitoes, especially during dawn and dusk.

In Gabon, winter typically falls between May and September, with temperatures ranging from 24 to 29 degrees Celsius.

The climate during this time of year is characterized by dry weather and lower humidity levels, making it an ideal time to visit for those seeking more comfortable outdoor activities.

Additionally, the winter season in Gabon coincides with a decrease in rainfall, leading to clear skies and plenty of sunshine across the country.
