Located in Central Africa, Equatorial Guinea is small in size (28,051 km²). The country is divided into three parts: Bioko Island, Annobón Island, and the Río Muni region on the mainland. Despite its name, the equator does not pass through any part of the country. This Atlantic coastal country has a population of only about 1.7 million, and its capital, Malabo, is located on the coast of Bioko Island in the northwestern part of the country. The country gained independence from Spain in 1968, and as a remnant of the colonial era, the official language is Spanish. English is not widely spoken. Equatorial Guinea is a major oil producer, but the ordinary people live in poverty. The country also exports timber and cocoa, among other things. Tourism is almost non-existent.
Climate: Equatorial Guinea has an equatorial climate, which means high temperatures and high humidity throughout the year. The sky is mostly cloudy all year round. In the continental part of the country, the rainy season lasts from February to June and again from September to December. The coast receives more rainfall than the interior. On Bioko Island, where the capital Malabo is located, the dry season lasts from November to March, while the rest of the year is rainy. Temperatures remain fairly consistent throughout the country throughout the year, with an average temperature of +21–32 °C.
Security: The security situation in Equatorial Guinea is generally good, but there are pickpockets in crowds. Traffic and heat are the biggest risk factors. You must ask for permission before taking photographs. Do not photograph the authorities.
Visa: Most Westerners, such as EU citizens, need a visa to visit Equatorial Guinea. The easiest way is to apply for an e-visa, which takes a few days to a few weeks to process. Please note that visa policies change frequently and without prior notice. The passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of arrival.
Currency: Equatorial Guinea uses the Central African CFA franc (XOF) as its currency, which is pegged to the euro. One euro is worth approximately 656 francs. You should take euro banknotes with you and exchange them on arrival or withdraw cash from an ATM.
Vaccinations and malaria: Equatorial Guinea requires proof of yellow fever vaccination. In addition, hepatitis A and B vaccinations are recommended. Please ensure that your basic vaccinations are up to date. Malaria is present throughout Equatorial Guinea all year round, so anti-malaria medication is recommended. Protection against mosquitoes during the day is also recommended due to the risk of dengue fever.
Travel insurance: Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended.
