Unrivalled Fishing Opportunities
Sette Cama, nestled within Gabon’s Loango National Park, delivers a one-of-a-kind saltwater fishing experience in one of Africa’s last truly wild frontiers. Known for its abundant wildlife and untouched landscapes, this region offers anglers the rare chance to fish amidst elephants, gorillas, hippos, and more—all just steps from pristine beaches and untamed estuaries.
Trophy Catches: Gabon’s rich waters are home to hard-fighting species like tarpon, cubera snapper, giant African threadfin, and jacks. Whether on spin or fly tackle, each strike promises the potential for a career-defining catch.
Pristine Fishing Grounds: Spanning over 800 kilometers of undeveloped coastline, Gabon’s nutrient-rich estuary systems support a thriving marine ecosystem. Fish from a boat or wade through the shallows as you explore crystal-clear waters set against the backdrop of Africa’s most intact tropical rainforest.
Wild and Remote Experience: This isn’t just fishing—it’s immersion in one of the most biodiverse regions on the continent. Sette Cama offers complete seclusion, where every cast takes place in a remote and protected environment, making it a bucket-list destination for serious anglers in search of the extraordinary.
Adventurous Experiences Beyond Fishing
- Wildlife Safaris & Jungle Treks: As the gateway to one of Africa’s largest intact coastal forests, Sette Cama provides access to a rich tapestry of wildlife. Guided forest walks reveal chimpanzees, red river hogs, forest elephants, sitatunga, and monkeys—while lucky visitors may even spot elephants and buffalos roaming the beach. Enhance your stay with unforgettable wildlife encounters, from gorilla tracking alongside local pygmy guides to classic West African safari activities. Perfect for non-angling companions or those looking to explore more of Gabon’s natural wonders.
- Birding & Canopy Walks: With over 1,500 square miles of pristine wilderness, the park is a haven for bird enthusiasts. Spot rare species like the vermiculated fishing owl or the chocolate-backed kingfisher. Explore by boat, walk the treetops on a canopy tour, or unwind along untouched tropical shores.

Conservation and Sustainability
Sette Cama is at the heart of a pioneering conservation effort in Gabon, where responsible tourism directly supports local livelihoods and protects fragile ecosystems. African Waters has implemented strict catch-and-release practices and works closely with Gabon’s National Parks Agency to combat illegal fishing and fund conservation initiatives. Over the past decade, this approach has led to healthier fish populations and a fishery that continues to improve—an exceptional outcome in today’s world.
