After breakfast, we leave Libreville and head towards Lambarene. The road is paved, although in places in a bit of a state of disrepair. We cross the Komo River and the equator and arrive in Lambarene after about four hours of driving.

The river originates in the Congo and is the largest and longest river in Gabon.

On arrival in Lambarene, we check in (Hotel Agneghe Beach, 3 stars) and later visit the Albert Schweitzer Hospital, now a museum. The hospital was built by Albert Schweitzer, the French Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 1952, at the beginning of the last century. During the visit, we will travel back in time to colonial times and learn a little about the history of Albert and his family. In the afternoon, we will take a city tour of Lambarene.

In the evening, we will visit a temple outside the city, where we will participate in a Bwiti ceremony.
