        Frequently Asked Questions

        Is Equatorial Guinea safe for tourists?

        Guinea is a rather unsafe nation, due to the fact that it has a history of being one of Africa's unstable countries; therefore lawlessness and criminality are widespread. Most of the crime is done by officials in military uniforms, and usually targets foreigners for target opportunities.

        What is Equatorial Guinea known for?

        It is mostly known for being the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa.

        What is the best time of year to go to Equatorial Guinea?

        The best time to visit is November and December, after the rains and before the dusty harmattan winds, though the Fouta Djalon is at its greenest and best during the rainy season. April is very hot everywhere and is not a pleasant month to travel to Guinea.

        Can foreigners buy property in Equatorial Guinea?

        Although the Land Tenure Code of 1996 grants foreigners the right to acquire property freely, the corrupt and inefficient legal system hinders prospective investments.
