Ndjolé is the capital town in the Abanga-Bigne Department in Gabon, lying northeast of Lambaréné on the Ogooué River, the N2 road and the Trans-Gabon Railway.

In 1883, Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza founded the military post of Ndjolé, a strategic point located on the Ogooué River.

The river being difficult to navigate upstream, it is here that foresters loaded their wood to bring it down to Port-Gentil.

It was here that Samory Touré, founder and leader of the short-lived Wassoulou Empire, died in captivity.

Alongside Samory Touré, Cheikh Amadou Bamba Mbacké also experienced exile and forced labour there.
