Heliconia Stadium Moanda

My wife and I recently traveled to Moanda to visit Lekedi national Park and to see the mandrills. The hotel is one of the few options that are within a reasonable driving distance of the park. The Impala hotel which is close to the park is now closed as is the Moanda hotel. The only other option for decent hotels is in Franceville which is at least another hour Drive to the park making it two hours in each direction. Heliconia it’s only about 45 minutes drive from the park entrance. The hotel is primarily a business hotel or was originally used as part of the stadium events. The rooms are large and reasonably clean. The grounds have a swimming pool and a gym. The breakfast says were a very good quality and the beer is cold. The dinners were just OK but the staff were very nice. If you are going to visit the national Park we highly recommend staying at this hotel. Normally I would only rate the hotel three stars but I’m giving it four because there really is not much in terms of options in this area and for Gabon it was quite acceptable
