Ethnographic trip to Equatorial Guinea: Bantu cultures and Spanish colonial heritage

Ethnographic trip to Equatorial Guinea with the aim of capturing the essence of this curious country in Central Africa. We will value both the Spanish colonial heritage (a differentiating fact of the destination) and the cultural elements of the Bantu and Creole societies, which populate the island of Bioko and Río Muni (the continental area of Equatorial Guinea).

Equatorial Guinea is a country marked by 3 stages; the African, with Bantu invasions, tribal wars and an artistic explosion. The Spanish, with the social, cultural and economic shock of the process, and the oil boom from the 2000s.

Spain had a colony in Black Africa; the territories of Fernando Poo (Bioko Island), bought from the Portuguese, and the Muni River, on the mainland, a square of virgin forest inhabited by the cannibal tribe of the Fangs. Every territory colonized by another culture produces new and unique realities.

Equatorial Guinea is a Last Place due to its international isolation, cultural and social rarity, the particular heritage of Spanish colonization (the only Spanish-speaking country in Black Africa) of part of the country and the wealth that now seems to be running out. It is the least visited country in Africa and one of the countries with the greatest diversity of flora and fauna in relation to its size.

Last Places proposes very complete trips to Equatorial Guinea combining coexistence with the last ethnic groups that still keep their culture alive in the interior of the country, with excursions through virgin nature (Isla de Bioko and Isla de Corisco) and visits to colonial architecture (Malabo) and unique buildings (Church of Batete). In Last Places we are interested in delving into the Spanish colonial heritage in a pure archaeological style and we immerse ourselves in pre-colonial Guinea, witnessing syncretic rituals of Bwiti and analyzing what remains of the Bubi Kingdom of Moka and the fang facial tattoos of Ebebiyin.

Bioko Island

Atlantic island of great scenic beauty, surrounded by beautiful beaches with black and white volcanic sand. Bioko Island has jungle, forest, savannah and the Basile volcanic peak (3012 m). Sea turtles come to its shores to spawn in Ureca.

Tropical decadence in Malabo

Spanish decadent aroma with tropical touches. The popular neighborhoods of Malabo, Creole buildings and the game meat market give the capital of Equatorial Guinea a unique feel.

Moka, capital of the Bubi kingdom

Moka is the former capital of the last free kingdom of the Bubi tribe. This is a great place to explore the essences of this island town and visit Lake Biao and Iyadi Falls.

The Luba Jungle Crater

Primary forest that houses several endemic species of fauna. Apes stand out, among which there is the Bioko drill.

Island of Corisco

The best getaway to white sand beaches, warm waters and palm trees is found in Corisco, an island inhabited by several families from the Venetian tribe, with their own Creole language and syncretic customs.

Ebebiyin

Old Spanish colonial city in the middle of the jungle. It is currently the seat of an important cross-border market. In Ebebiyin we can find the borders of Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and Gabon. It is the base for exploring traditional Fang villages.

Monte Alen Gorilla Sanctuary

Monte Alen is a National Park of about 2000 km2 that extends along a plateau and several mountain ranges covered in jungle. You can find lowland gorillas, elephants, chimpanzees, buffalo, crocodiles, leopards, and numerous endemic species of butterflies among the rich biodiversity that it presents.

Kogo

Kogo is a small colonial city on the estuary of the Muni River. The dominant ethnic group is that of the Endowes (local ethnic group known as 'playeros'). The area offers the possibility of visiting colonial buildings from the Spanish era and villages of communities of the Venetian tribe or beach people.

Discover Bwiti syncretism

In the region between Ebebiyin and Mongomo we can find Bwiti cult temples (a religion that mixes animist fang cults with Catholicism). In some Bwiti rituals dances are performed with masks.

    The syncretic bwiti religion

    Bwiti is a cult or spiritual movement practiced by the Fang tribe of Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and Gabon, as well as other ethnic groups such as the Punu and Mitsogo. The bwiti would be that which allows a person to obtain freedom from it. The bwiti incorporates animism, ancestor worship, and, in some cases, Christianity into a syncretic belief system.
