TOUR OVERVIEW
Equatorial Guinea is often described as one of the least visited countries in Africa, largely due to its authoritarian regime and strict travel restrictions. The government, led by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo since 1979, maintains tight control over the populace, creating an atmosphere where freedom of expression is limited, and tourists are often viewed with suspicion. All in all, sounds like exactly the type of place we love to explore!
During this tour, we'll venture into most corners of the country, with a pretty extensive itinerary of both the island of Bioko and the mainland. We'll go up and down both the eastern and western coasts of Bioko, visiting black and white sand beaches, a biodiversity centre, partially abandoned towns and buildings, and a chocolate plantation.
We'll fly to Bata on the mainland, the part of Equatorial Guinea that makes Malabo seem like a normal tourist destination. And here we'll visit Cuidad de la Paz, an absolute haven for those of us who love absurd, failed, monolithic building projects, and we'll have a night in a super luxurious 5-star resort hotel. We'll also take a peek at Mongomo, where the president's from, and catch a boat to the pristine island of Corisco.
