Hello All. I would like to ask some general questions....any reply is appreciated
myself, wife and 4 month old baby girl may have the pleasure to relocate to Libreville. We are seasoned Ex Pats from various countries and we are currently living in Saudi Arabia.
I do not have a lot of information about Libreville (or Gabon in general) and would like to know how life is in Libreville for an British Expat family.
for example
-- what are the good areas to live in in Libreville
-- Are there good medical facilities as we have a 5 month old baby.
-- what is the rental availability in Libreville for a nice (furnished or unfurnished) 3 bedroomed house with pool and parking in a good and safe area ?
-- What is the crime rate like in the city ?
-- is international food available ?
-- what are the "best" and "worst" points of living in Gabon/Libreville

Many thanks in advance fellow expats...

Stuart.

Hello Stuart,

I am assuming you are already in Gabon. If you still have questions, feel free to email me. ***

HI Sam,

Did you end making that relocation to Libreville? I am moving there this year with two little ones from the UK. Grateful for any recommendations on rentals and transportation. We will be there for a yr at most and hoping we can get around without having to buy a car.

Best wishes,
Awa

Hi there,
My family and I will be moving to Libreville at the start of the new year and will be bringing with us a two year old and a three month old. What advice do you have for bringing young children to Gabon? What are some good places/activities to take them for fun? Did you give your tiny one anti-malarials at first? Or just avoid the mosquitos? Thanks for any info you can think to share!
