The Albert Schweitzer Hospital and the districts Adouma and Abongo are located on Rive Droite.

The districts Atongowanga, Sahoty, Dakar, Grand Village, Château, Lalala and Bordamur build the Ile Lambaréné.

The majority of the people in Lambaréné live in the district Isaac located on Rive Gauche.

Lambaréné is inhabited mainly by Bantu ethnic groups such as the Fang, Bapounou, Eshira, and Myéné; these displaced the Pygmies to the east and north of Gabon.

The Franco-German Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Schweitzer (1875–1965) founded his hospital in Lambaréné in 1913.
