About Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea is a country in West Africa, with the mainland and the islands as its two parts. It is one of the largest oil producing countries in Sub-Sahara, behind Angola and Nigeria. It was formally part of the Spanish colony, and borders Cameroon and Gabon. Its capital is Malabo, on the Bioko Island. Its currency is the Central African CFA franc, and the official languages spoken are French, Spanish and Portuguese.

Equatorial Guinea has two distinctive and very pronounced seasons: rainy and dry seasons. April to October are the wettest months of the year, and December to March are the driest. Its Arena Blanca beach draws dry-season butterflies. The tropical forest of the mainland’s Monte Alen National Park is home to gorillas, chimpanzees and elephants.
