Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba embarqua finalement le samedi 21 septembre 1895 à bord du paquebot «Ville du Pont de Pernambouc» sur lequel il aura à affronter d’autres épreuves dont : l’hostilité affichée de l’équipage, la ruée d’un taureau déchaîné vers sa sainte personne et dont il fut miraculeusement préservé.
Une fois sur l’île, le Cheikh, selon ses propres dires même, fut sujet à toutes sortes d’exactions et de brimades, et cela, tout au long de ses séjours successifs dans la jungle, de Mayumba à Lambaréné et ailleurs.
La moiteur, le grand nombre de maladies tropicales mais surtout la solitude caractérisant ces lieux, firent aussi de ces années les plus éprouvantes de l’existence du Cheikh, isolement perceptible dans nombre de ses écrits où il exprime avec humilité tout son attachement, sa confiance et sa reconnaissance au TRES-MAJESTUEUX de même que sa résolution inébranlable à rester «l’esclave de DIEU et le Serviteur du Prophète (PSL) à demeure et constance».
N’ayant pour témoins que les éléments, il eut cette poignante profession: «O Océan de Mayumba ! Témoigne que je suis l’esclave de DIEU, Celui qui pardonne les péchés, et que je demeure le Serviteur du [Prophète] Elu! Témoigne, qu’en tant qu’ami intime du [Prophète], celui qui comble d’honneurs ses amis, je rejette toute forme d’association à DIEU et n’adore que Lui seul !»
Ces épreuves et d’autres privations que s’infligeait volontairement le Cheikh pour la FACE de DIEU (AL WAHJJ)eurent quelques fois pour spectateurs les habitants primitifs de ces contrées ou des indigènes originaires du Sénégal dont certains eurent à lui manifester leur estime ou même à lui faire allégeance. Le Cheikh aura aussi à faire la rencontre, durant l’Exil, de nombre de personnalités marquantes de cette époque, telles le futur premier député d’Afrique Noire Blaise DIAGNE, alors fonctionnaire des Douanes, son disciple et frère Mame Cheikh Anta MBACKE qui avait entrepris le périlleux voyage au Gabon.
Le Cheikh eut de même à entretenir une correspondance avec l’illustre résistant guinéen, l’Almamy Samory TOURE, déporté depuis 1899 à Njolé, au Gabon, où il trouvera d’ailleurs la mort le 2 juin 1900. Il est rapporté que le Cheikh effectua, lorsqu’il apprit la nouvelle, la prière des morts à son intention depuis Lambaréné, conformément à la Sunna Prophétique. L’ex-Bourba Jolof Samba Laobé Penda, exilé cinq mois après le Cheikh en raison, pour partie, des relations le liant à celui-ci, eut aussi à le retrouver au Gabon.
