Countries that border Gabon
3 land neighbours: Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and the Republic of the Congo. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
3 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 3 land borders are joint 7th-most in Africa — level with Burundi, Botswana, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ghana, Liberia, Malawi, Somalia and Togo. Of the 3 possible pairings among them, 2 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Cameroon is the most connected of them, with 6 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Gabon, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.
