Mbrella Films
Film Production Company in Gabon
Gabon is a West African country that offers three main landscapes for your film production, including coastal plains in the west, mountains in the center, and savannah in the east. Despite the variety of landscapes, Gabon is an underrated country when it comes to filming locations. Only an aerial shot of the forest was used in “The Legend of Tarzan,” one of the major film productions filmed in Gabon. However, this should give you an idea of the vast and breathtaking scenery that Gabon can offer your film production.

Top 5 Filming Locations in Gabon
Libreville
We can start with Libreville, the largest city and capital of Gabon. It is a port located on the Komo River, near the Gulf of Guinea. Aside from the urban area, Libreville is known for its stunning sandy beaches along the city’s coastline. Whether it’s a vacation, family-oriented, or action-packed film, Libreville has the potential to offer some amazing on-screen visuals.
Pointe Denis
Located on a peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gabon Estuary, Point Denis is Gabon’s best-known seaside resort. It is also close to the Pongara National Park, which is a major breeding ground for the leatherback turtle. If your film aims to capture marine life species, Point Denis is a perfect location to consider.
Cocobeach
Cocobeach is a small town located in the northwestern part of Gabon, situated on the south bank of the Muni River. It is mainly composed of a fishing village, a small market, and a number of sandy beaches. Despite its small size, Cocobeach is considered one of the major travel destinations in Gabon, and it has the potential to be a perfect filming location.
Bitam
Bitam is a town in northern Gabon, located on the border with Cameroon. The town features a large market, an airport, and a vast rainforest along the Ntem River. For film productions that require rainforest scenery, we highly recommend checking out Bitam.
Lope, Ogooué-Ivindo
Ogooue-Ivindo Province is the northeasternmost of Gabon’s nine provinces, although its Lope Department is located in the very center of the country. This province contains thousands of square kilometers of rainforest, making it the largest and most sparsely populated region of the country, and much less developed than the rest. You can discover numerous natural landscapes for your film production in this province.
