More information about Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea is one of Africa's smallest and least-visited countries, split between the mainland Río Muni region and the volcanic island of Bioko, where the capital Malabo sits.

The country's rainforests, both mainland and island, host exceptional primate diversity, including several endemic monkey species found nowhere else.

Tourism infrastructure remains limited compared to neighbouring Gabon and Cameroon, making guided, specialist-arranged trips the most practical way to explore.

Spanish colonial heritage is still visible in Malabo's architecture, a legacy of the country's history as Spain's only sub-Saharan African colony.
