Is Libreville safe for solo female travelers?

Libreville, the capital city of Gabon, is relatively safe compared to other African cities. However, like all urban areas, there's some level of crime, mostly petty thefts or pickpocketing in crowded places or less reputable neighborhoods. Violent crime against tourists is rare but travelers are advised to be cautious especially during night hours. Always keep an eye on your personal belongings and avoid isolated areas, particularly after dark. Local authorities are generally efficient in providing safety, but responsiveness may vary. It's essential to stay informed about the local situation, follow local advice and maintain a low profile.
