In-depth country guide
Island forests, mainland journeys and a coast worth slowing down for.
A country worth knowing
Choose Bioko, the mainland or a carefully arranged island journey rather than trying to join everything into a hurried circuit. Malabo and Bata provide practical starting points; the remoter destinations need confirmed access, transport and a host. These eleven places offer a mix of public walks and outings planned in advance.
