The sacred forests of Kpasse in Ouidah hold Vodun spirits in their oldest trees. Nobody enters without the priest's permission, nobody cuts a branch without asking the forest first. The air inside is thick, cool, and absolutely still even at midday. Whether you believe in Vodun or not, you walk through here with respect because the forest demands it.

Animals of Gabon Day

You encounter forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, and forest buffalo as you explore Gabon's dense rainforests and coastal regions. You find that Gabonese households commonly keep dogs and cats, with some families also keeping parrots and small primates as pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
