Equatorial Guinea

Welcome from H.E. Mr. Rufino Ndong Esono Nchama

Minister of Culture, Tourism and Handicraft Promotion

From the Government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea we are working on the full implementation of the Online Visa in order to mitigate the administrative bureaucracy and speed up the process of obtaining tourist visas; our large reception and reception infrastructures allow us not only to work to encourage the reception of potential investors, but also to support private initiatives that help in the development and promotion of Equatorial Guinea as a tourist destination.

For us it is a great honour and pleasure to welcome our visitors, we are a welcoming country in an environment of peace and harmony that offers full security to the visitor, and we are a destination in which the cultural essence is based on the pillars of diversity that encourage a wide range of gastronomy, a colourful folklore and ancestral rhythms.

Our country is an ideal destination and a paradise for nature lovers, ecotourism and adventurers. Due to the historical background that links it with Spain, it is positioned as a key element in the triangle of Hispanic culture that is formed between Spain, Latin America and Africa, being the only Spanish-speaking country in the entire African continent.

Our strategic location in Central Africa on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean makes us a prime enclave for European tourist demand and makes us a destination with easy connectivity for the African, European, Asian and/or American tourist market.

Equatorial Guinea

"A Paradise to be discovered

The conception of the essence of travel is to go in search of the different and the unknown, in an escape from monotony to experience emotions that are intensified by the different tourist attractions.

In the heart of Africa, and bathed by the crystalline waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the Gulf of Guinea, lies the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, a small African jewel. A former Spanish and formerly Portuguese colony, Spanish is the official language, and French is also spoken as it is part of CEMAC (Central African Economic and Monetary Community). After the discovery of oil in 1996, there is a large presence and influx of English-speaking companies and personnel.

Among its cocoa, coffee and banana plantations, there are cities with a clear European influence, and flora and fauna representative of almost all of Africa. Dominated by an equatorial climate, it has a pleasant average temperature of 26 degrees Celsius to warmly welcome visitors all year round.

Lovers of ecotourism and nature tourism who visit the Republic of Equatorial Guinea are in luck because it is a country where nature remains as grandiose as it is unspoilt, but where, in addition, development allows adequate measures to be taken for its conservation in the future.

More than a hundred different mammals are part of this fauna: small antelopes, pangolins, felines... The country is particularly rich in the diversity of primates: gorillas, chimpanzees, mandrills, colobus... There are also some specimens of large mammals such as the forest elephant, the hippopotamus, the manatee, and a very rich inventory of Equatoguinean birds, with more than three hundred known species: There are also many species of reptiles and amphibians, and four species of marine turtles frequent the coastline.

The coral reefs of Corisco, the Elobeyes and Annobon are home to marine fauna that is rare in Central Africa. It is also important to mention the coast of Moraka, near Ureka, in Bioko, as one of the most privileged places in the area to observe the laying of eggs of the four species of marine turtles.
