Take care to make some copy of your vaccination certificate against yellow fever. It may be required on arrival at the airport.

I don’t advise swimming in the capital, there is lots of garbage. It’s better to spend half an hour and go away from the city.

If you go a few kilometers away from the capital, you’ll meet lots of locals standing along the side of the road and selling fruits. Well, the cheapest fruits can be bought from them.

Technically you can get to the capital by ferry boat from Douala. I would advise against that. The connection is irregular and unpredictable.

Be ready to get through careful security check upon arrival. It would be better if you don’t bring camera and binoculars with you at all, they will be removed any way.

Currency is exchangeable only in the capital.

Malabo is a very expensive place. In spite of this fact, La Luna restaurant looks terrifyingly expensive while food is not so tasty; even its nice appearance doesn’t save the situation.

Don’t miss visiting Malabo’s Aviator Pub & Cafe on weekend evening. It hosts local musicians’ concerts.
