8. Gabon, West Africa
Gabon’s earliest inhabitants were Pygmy people, ancestors of those who continue to live throughout the country today. Nearly 85% of the landscape is covered in rainforest while the remainder is a mix of coastal beaches, mountain ranges and savannah. If the Cristal Mountains and Pygmy people aren’t enough to convince you of this country’s mystical magic, the extensive system of relatively unexplored caves found beneath the rainforest — complete with cave-dwelling crocodiles – may help. Did I mention the crocs are nearly blind and bright orange? Because they are.
