Combine a week in Petit Loango National Park with a week in Ivindo National Park. Possibly end with some R&R in São Tomé.

A suggestion for Loango is:

Visit the charming Mission of Saint Anne, with its famous metallic church designed by Gustav Eiffel, before floating down the Mpivié River. Hemmed in on both banks by a wall of vegetation and huge trees, the Mpivié is a bird watcher's paradise.In the late afternoon transfer to Loango Lodge and overnight.
Day 2
A full day to explore the region through a number of game drives. Situated between the Nkomi and Ndogo lagoons, Loango is the jewel of Africa's western coast. The area has over 100 kilometres of uninhabited coast. This is the most beautiful spot on Africa's western coast where forests, savannas, wetlands, lagoons and ocean come together. Within its savannah forest mosaic grassland, Loango has elephant, buffalo, hippo and gorilla venturing on the white beachfront, a unique sight in the world. There is also the largest concentration and variety of whales and dolphins after South Africa. Humpback Whales and even Killer Whales are easily observable from July until September.
Day 3
Today you will have a full day boat trip exploring the lagoon and more particularly the Ngové River. This river hosts a wealth of wildlife and birdlife, especially in the dry season from June to August. Overnight at the satellite camp of Akaka on a full board basis.
