Remote airstrip serving Gabon's coastal wilderness reserve.

Location
Sette Cama, Gabon
Sette Cama Airport is a small, unpaved airstrip located in the coastal village of Sette Cama in southern Gabon. It serves as the primary air access point for the Sette Cama region, which lies within the Gamba Complex of protected areas, a network of national parks and wildlife reserves along Gabon's Atlantic coast. The airport handles light general aviation and charter flights, primarily supporting ecotourism, wildlife research, and the logistical needs of the local fishing community. There are no scheduled commercial airline services operating from this facility. Given its remote setting, the airstrip plays a critical role in connecting an otherwise isolated community, as road access to Sette Cama is limited and seasonal conditions can make overland travel difficult.
