Gabon can provide a decent place for solo female travelers. However, caution is suggested particularly during night time and in less crowded places. Most locals are hospitable and welcoming, but instances of pickpocketing and minor theft do occur particularly in urban areas. Use reliable transportation means and avoid showing off luxury items. It's also advised to dress modestly respecting local culture. Always let someone know your whereabouts and arrange check-in times with friends or family.
