 Malabo is the beautiful capital of Equatorial Guinea located on a natural crater shaped harbor at the base of Pico Basilé and as such offers some of the country's most breathtaking views. With the entire city located on Bioko Island, certain segments of its coasts are of alluring geography, composed of crescent shaped bays like the famed Tip of African Unity. 

It is very rare that one gets to indulge in the beauty of volcanic landscapes, the exquisiteness of Spanish colonial architecture, and the tropical greenery that Africa has to offer, that you get to explore in this one destination. Pico Basile counts as the highest mountain across the region, being an inactive volcano, while Pico Malabo remains the active volcano of the region. Safari trails leading to the primate habitat of the area residing in the jungles and forests of mainland are the main getaway for natural exploration. The Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program consists of an official park, with terrains including a crater lake of the Pico Biao volcano, as well as certain tributaries of the Ilyadi River, known as Cascades of the Moca. Malabo, being the national capital of the country, has multiple state institutions and landmarks located across its central area; the presidential palace along with its gardens, and the Malabo Court. Buildings preserving the architecture of the Spanish colonial era are still prominent, like the Casa Verde, the Santa Isabel Cathedral and the Equatorial Guinea National University.    

The main market place has its commercial activity centred at the Plaza Del Reloj. Other institutions for national heritage and art are the Museum of Modern and contemporary art, and the Museum of Biyabiyan, representing the tribal heritage in the area.
