Lambarene

Lambaréné lies on the middle Ogooué near its meeting with the Ngounié, amid a network of lakes and river channels. In the early nineteenth century Galoa communities came from the Fernan Vaz country and settled in this region. Trade along the river linked Galoa, Enenga, Adyumba, and other clans, carrying goods between the forests of the interior and the Atlantic coast.
