Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea is a small country located in Central Africa. It is made up of the mainland region called Rio Muni and several islands, with the largest one being Bioko Island. The country is known for its lush rainforests, beautiful beaches, and diverse wildlife.

Equatorial Guinea has a tropical climate, which means it is hot and humid throughout the year. The country is also crossed by the equator, which gives it its name and makes the days and nights almost equal in length.

The landscape of Equatorial Guinea is varied, with mountains, rivers, and dense forests covering much of the land. The highest peak in the country is Pico Basile, which is a volcano on Bioko Island.

The country is also home to a wide variety of animals, including monkeys, elephants, and colorful birds. The waters surrounding Equatorial Guinea are rich in marine life, making it a popular spot for fishing and diving.
