I have a relative who went to Gabon numerous times and was treated with this and swears it works really well. He has since opened up a business in Canada offering Iboga weekend retreats. The process is taught by Bwiti shamans there is a spiritual component.
It's totally unregulated so it's pretty much buyer beware I'm sure there are unscrupulous people trying to cash in. Ayahuasca is a have some different effects than Igoba though. The people who ingest it are totally at the mercy of the shamans.
I've checked into this a little bit and there certainly seems to be something there but the big drug companies I'm sure will do there best to shut it down and cast shadow on it. I like that in Gabon the pygymies are the one's reputed to have the most knowledge about Iboga. Anyway the tourism aspect is new but this plant I suspect probably has been used for thousands of years by the pygymies. I'm in the medical field and I don't trust these pharmaceutical companies one bit they're all about profit that's their priority I don't trust them. I certainly would not disregard Iboga completely.

What are the differences? I know nothing about Igoba, although I'll start researching more about it soon enough.
Ayahuasca is said to confront yourself. Just complete naked awareness of all of your pain you've caused, your faults, your flaws, and just wham! And you have to deal with it. (That's what little I've been expressed to about it anyway)

Iboga from the little research I've done is about healing wounds and learning to cope with the inner critic. It's about asking specific questions and being guided by the spirit guides they are thought to be everywhere and apparently the visions are more intense in the African jungle. Apparently it's really intense lots of stuff stored in the sub-conscience comes to the forefront in detail and you relieve the experiences it feels real but the spirit guides are supposedly there to help you make sense of it all so you can heal and move on. Seems really cool but I'm a skeptic.

That sounds similar to what I know about Ayahuasca. I'll have to read more about both of them.

The two are very different. While ayahuasca is a powerful drug which does present the effects you describe, this aspect of self evaluation and self purification is psychological more akin something like mescaline or acid.
Igoba is a much more physically overpowering experience. The most notable aspect is paralysis, something that can be extremely disarming and challenging condition even for those feel prepared for it. The duration can also be challenging up to 24 hours in length.
The most important difference is in therapeutic value. Many believe and attest to the fact that ibogaine can rewire the brain and cure physical addiction. Physical addictions cause divitts in the mental receptors in the shape of particular molecules of addiction. Without a fix the person is incapable of normal functioning which is why a tapered administration is essential to safe recovery (eg methadone).
Ibogaine is known to treat and remove these divitts permanently which leads to its incredible acclaim in the field of treating addiction
