Equatorial Guinea

Africa's only country with Spanish as an official language, with volcanic rainforest on Bioko Island and a distinctive mainland coast.

Equatorial Guinea lies on the west coast of Central Africa, made up of Bioko Island in the Gulf of Guinea, the mainland region of Río Muni, and Annobón Island, among others; the capital, Malabo, is on Bioko. Bioko has volcanic mountains, rainforest and turtle-nesting beaches, while the mainland has Monte Alén National Park and the seafront of Bata. Tourism is small-scale, and visitors usually need to arrange a visa in advance. It is relatively dry from about December to February, a good time to go. The main gateways are the international airports at Malabo and Bata.
