Malabo
A Spanish-colonial capital on a volcanic island rather than the mainland, oil wealth funding a skyline that outpaces its neighbours, and rainforest reserves a short drive out where drills and gorillas still outnumber the tourists.
The best time to visit Malabo is Dec–Feb, when typical daytime highs reach about 29°C (84°F). Local time there is 04:44 (UTC+1).
