United Kingdom alone rates Gabon at level 1. Every other government places it higher, from level 2 to level 3, with the largest group at level 2. Where one government is markedly more relaxed than the rest, the safer planning assumption is the majority view rather than the most reassuring one.
Currency varies between sources. South Korea's is the oldest assessment of Gabon on file, last revised in July 2025, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.
The warnings for Gabon are not uniform across the country. One distinct area is singled out by at least one government. The areas named are defined by long district-level lists rather than by single place names — see the individual advisories above for the exact boundaries. At least one government advises against non-essential travel to a specific area while taking a softer line on the country overall.
The level 3 rating from South Korea, Ireland and Poland carries practical weight even if your own government is more relaxed — insurers commonly price against, or exclude, travel contrary to official advice, so the rating that matters most is the one issued for your passport.
