Day 1 - Explore the Heartbeat of Equatorial Guinea, Malabo

Our three-day journey begins in the bustling capital of Malabo. Nothing beats a plunge straight into the city, so your first stop will be the Malabo National Park. This safari-style park, located right in the middle of the city, offers a rare glimpse of Africa's iconic wildlife. Elephants, leopards, gorillas, and crocodiles - are you game for a wild start? After a thrilling morning, you'll head to the French Consulate, a magnificent colonial building reflecting the country's historical ties with Europe. With the sun about to set, nothing beats a stroll along the Marina. Here, you can chat up locals, sample street foods, and witness a beautiful seascape sunset. Finally, end your day with a unique culinary experience at the La Luna for a taste of authentic Equatoguinean dishes, made even memorable by the restaurant's stunning view of the city lights.

Day 2 - Coastal Adventures and Cultural Deep-Dive

Start your second day with an island-hopping adventure. Your first destination is the Ilachi Beach, just off the coast of Malabo. Unwind under a palm tree or jump on a clear-bottom boat tour, for a stunning view of the vibrant marine life. Once back on the main island, it’s time to immerse in tradition at the Museo de la City of Malabo. Artifacts, photos, and themed exhibits flaunt the rich history and cultural diversity of Equatorial Guinea like an open book. Later in the evening, 'dance' your way into the heart of local culture at the Centro Cultural de España. Here, colorful performances, music, and dances by local artists will set your night alive, memorable enough to evoke warm memories of Malabo in years to come.

Day 3 - Discover the Natural Wonders of Bioko Island

On the final day, you'll escape to the idyllic landscape of Bioko Island. Explore the serene Lake Biao, nestled high in the volcanic crater, a perfect spot for hiking, bird-watching or simply basking in the tranquillity far from the urban bustle. Your next stop is the majestic Ureka Waterfalls, hidden deep in the lush rainforest, a sight that will leave you speechless. Wrap up your journey with a visit to the Pico Basilé National Park , a biodiversity hotspot and the perfect finale. The view from the top is indeed rewarding - the verdant valley, the azure horizon, and the tiny city of Malabo in the distance, a sight you won't easily forget.
