Maiombe Forest

It is also known as the second lung of planet Earth. It is a forest reserve and a true tourist paradise for nature lovers.
The Maiombe Forest has trees that reach more than 50 metres in height. Additionally, it is one of the largest sources of income for companies engaged in timber extraction.
In this region, there are many types of wood, such as African blackwood, ebony and African sandalwood.
Due to its enormous importance to the lives of living beings and its exclusive natural beauty, it is considered one of the 7 Wonders of Angola.

The Maiombe Forest is located in the province of Cabinda, the Angolan enclave.
Geographically, the province of Cabinda is separated from the rest of the provinces on the map. The Maiombe Forest has a total area of 290,000 hectares.
It begins in the province of Cabinda, crosses the southern part of the Republic of the Congo and, to the north, separates the Republic of the Congo from the southern part of Gabon. This region extends through the Republic of the Congo, Gabon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and, of course, Angola.
It is also crossed by a series of rivers. This forest has enormous biodiversity, both in its flora and fauna.
Limba, for example, is a highly valued tree species in this area.
