PLACES TO VISIT
Equatorial Guinea is one of the least visited countries, but this African nation is proud of its attractions. After all, it offers tourists varied landscapes, from its island destinations to the mainland. This nation lies on the equator by the Gulf of Guinea, with its pristine shores ready to cater to tourists who want to frolic with the Atlantic breeze and its playful waters. It is bordered by equally underrated Cameroon and Gabon.
The country is slowly building up its tourism infrastructure as it aims to become a major ecotourism destination in Africa. From historical spots to natural wonders, the slowly opening up Equatorial Guinea won’t disappoint explorers of off-the-beaten paths.
