Nyanga Province

Nyanga is the southernmost of Gabon's nine provinces. The provincial capital is Tchibanga, which had a total of 31,294 inhabitants in 2013 (more than the half of the province population). Nyanga is the least populated province of the nine and the other least developed, besides Ogooué-Ivindo. It is bordered by Ogooué-Maritime in the northwest, Ngounié in the north, and the Congo to the south (Kouilou Region) and east (Niari Region). The Atlantic Ocean—the lowest point in both Gabon and Nyanga Province—borders it in the west.
