I have made it to EQUATORIAL GUINEA -- Africa's richest country (per capita) and the only nation on the continent that speaks Spanish. How cool is that?
Equatorial Guinea is truly such a different place in every way possible, and I'm excited to tell you all about it in this video! I think you will learn more about Equatorial Guinea in the next 5 minutes than in your entire life!
Please share your thoughts/suggestions/reactions in the comments below about Equatorial Guinea. Honestly speaking, have you ever heard of Equatorial Guinea before, and did you know that they speak Spanish?

Thank you for visiting my country. My country is so small that I actually know most of the people in the video. One of them is my aunty😂
Heyaaa🇬🇶
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I'm definitely coming I'm an upcoming vloger from kenya and I truly would love yo visit....
Your country is so underated it deserves more attention!
How's expats jobs in your country ... I have got job opportunity in FMCG in your country.
I want to visit
75% in poverty! With all that vacant real-estate and fertile land, those in power should be ashamed of themselves!
I agree that corruption is terrible and rich/wealthy people by nature are very greedy. That being said, poor people have got to stop procreating like rats.
Tarek Jabal why are you making this a race thing?
@Tarek Jabal woah, easy there buddy; greed is nothing to do with race, it's to do with an individual's core morals and ethics. Corruption exists across the board - look at the wealthiest 1% in the world.
@@richardschiffman7657 And how would you suppose you do that they did not choose to be poor and don't you think they would try something to stop.
Ashamed? Hung!
They have a more Spanish accent than even some parts of Spain like the Canary Islands or Galicia xD
Mariqa Aabdap No, these from Canary Islands and Galicia have equally good Spanish accent as these from Madrid, Equatorial Guineans have only good Castillan dialect accent.
@@Terrus_38 true
We have our own accent!
Galician or canary islands accents are 100% spanish accents 🤷♂️
Castellian is the real the name of the language Spanish, so we all speak castillian. Do you mean the accent from Madrid? BTW, We all have good Spanish or castellians accents, there's not better nor worse neither in Spain or America.
Equatorial Guinea is also under one of the most oppressive dictatorships in the world; the Nguema regime.
Agreed
@SG Macias Nguema took over a soccer stadium for a mass execution accompanied by speakers playing "Those Were the Days"! (Like his Khmer Rouge contemporaries, he killed people for wearing glasses...)
50 years of dictatorship and still continuing.
Well you guys wanted independence lol
@@gangstamack8397 Damned if you do, damned if you don't lol.
Hello, from Equatorial Guinea, thank you for visiting my country, you are very smart, i would like to visit too many countries like you,and i hope you enjoyed visiting my country. Saludos
Your country is crazy man. Creo que alguien tomo la oportunidad a engañar este idiota en su país. Cuando yo visité Guinea hace tres meses, solo tuve que pagar 5000 francos por mi hotel y la comida era muy barato. Visité a Ebebiyin, Mongomo, Oyala, Añisoc, Bata y Rio Campo, pues, conozco algo del país. Es un país lindo pero jamas he conocido un país tan corrupto (conozco 106 países) y policía tan mala. De verdad, eran muy locos. Espero que alguien mate a ese asesinato y ladrón Teodoro Obiang pronto.

Hola! Soy Ecuatoguineano y muchas gracias por haber visitado mi país.
Guinea Ecuatorial es una dictadura bien controlada tanto es así que el presidente y el vicepresidente son padre e hijo. Vaya desgracia la nuestra.
Somos el pais con la renta per capita mas alta de todo el continente. Sin embargo, la mayoria de la población vive sumida en la pobreza en un pais que no supera el 1.5 millones de habitantes.
Tenemos el presidente más longevo del planeta actualmente y ya lleva más de 40 años en el poder. Ese señor a hecho de Guinea prácticamente su negocio familiar.
Yo recien visite a su pais y este video me hizo enojado. Muy falso es. Todo que este idiota Drew ha dicho es falso. Nada que ver como es el pais. Se quedo en un hotel lujoso y fue guidado. La gente alla sufren, sufren mucho. La policia agarran cualquier idiota que camina en la noche (yo) y los acusan de algo para sacarles plata. Personalmente me agarraron por ser espia y terrorista. Por suerte soy Americano y no me podian hacer nada. Pero horrible es, el peor lugar en el mundo casi. La gente sufran, sufran mucho y ese idiota Drew hace burla de su sufrimiento por decir que el pais es tan bueno. Deberia haber ido a los pueblitos en Rio Muni sin un guia, y alla hubiera visto la realidad. De verdad su pais es loco. Me acuerdo entre Mongomo y Bata casa no vi autos en la autopista de cuatro vias. Loco. Muy loco.
Es triste saber por lo que pasan los hermanos ecuatoguineanos, espero que pronto salga ese dictador :( Saludos desde Colombia.

Their dialect is so interesting, it almost has a Portuguese kick to it (Which is almost exactly how I speak Spanish, being a Brazilian native).
They speak proper Spanish nit dialects.
They use to speak portuguese too, some still do
I’m pretty sure it’s because of Spaniards
Who else is addicted to reading comments?

Wow, trippy place, and damned expensive. Very interesting though for sure.
Wow Gabriel!! Huge fan man.
Expensive? I was there in July (also visiting all the countries in the world) and found it to be very cheap. Only cost $9 a night for a hotel. However this guy stayed in a very nice hotel. Probably did very expensive things. You can easily get by on $20 dollars a day. I was detained multiple times on charges of terrorism, for being a spy, for trespassing (all of these accusations not true) but was able to get out of all of this due to my beautiful blue American passport. Talking to Africans who are not American living in the country they say that the government can kill nationalities of a less powerful country and no one cares about it. Also, this guy is an idiot for flying. It is very cheap to cross the border at Ebebiyin. No flights needed.
Hey it's my buddy. How are you gabriel?
@@EulalieJasenomade I will write one in the next two weeks. What would be better than whatever I write though is the Bradt guide on Equatorial Guinea. The author of the guide really got to know the country well and offers a lot of practical advice. www.bradtguides.com/equatorial-guinea.html
What is your nationality? Traveling there will be more complicated if you are not American, Tunisian, Barbadian, Chinese or from a surrounding African country. Also do you do couchsurfing?
The country is small & swimming in oil.
Northern Morocco and Western Sahara are also Spanish speaking regions in Africa
But they don't have Spanish as their official language.

Philippines used to be colonized by Spain for hundred of years. The Spaniards treated the local people as slaves. Sadly, the local people adopted the invaders language too.

The corruption in africa is on another level

They’re greedy asf
@Aaron9 don't just say African as if we are one people. Different countries have different governments and they're not all the same
The government isn't supposed to take care of people. It is supposed to defend their rights. They are failing at that!
@@aphr0d Don't worry. We know that Africa is a continent and has several different countries, religions, languages, foods, and ethnicities. I mean, I don't expect her to name each country and ethnicity individually. It's a given that not every individual element is going to be the same when people make general statements like that.
@@nicholass.brisco2213 the government is supposed to do that and lead them to success! The government is the people elected by the people! Unless they’re dictatorships or so corrupt
I met a dude from Equatorial Guinea in Madrid a few weeks back. Never knew that they spoke Spanish there. Now it all makes sense

You are doing a good job. The best thing is that you are not making fancy travelling videos . You are making informative videos.
He only shows the "good places" from these countries. He's like an impartial journalist. I know, because I have watched some of his videos.
This video is in no way informative. Having traveled extensively in this country, I can tell you this video is crap. Expensive? A hotel in that country costs 9 american dollars and a full meal costs about 1 dollar. It is one of the cheapest countries I have been to (and I have been to many). This idiot stayed with some "friendly" locals who apparently cheated him out of a lot of money. But then by just seeing how he carries himself, can you expect anything less from this idiot?
Finally a proper video on this country!!!

Nah. I don't think so.
you haven't been anywhere near Switzerland. the steepest price for a burger won't exceed $15 in Switzerland
lolol
In Poland burgers in McDonald's are about 3 bucks.
Fantastic video! I played this video for all of my middle school Spanish 1 & 2 classes today and they were all super attentive for the entire video, which is not common (even the ones who are usually distracted paid attention!). None of them knew that there was an African country that spoke Spanish and I feel like they finished the video with a new perspective! I will definitely be showing them your videos of visits to other Spanish-speaking countries in the future. Thank you, Drew!
I’m so intrigued… as a Puertorican from the island of Puerto Rico, it’s so fascinating to find out about other Spanish speaking countries other than, the islands, Mexico, central and South America and Spain of course
I'm from Cameroon and love that your shirt has the design of the Grassfields of Cameroon on the arms. Learning more about our southern neighbors. Travel is so expensive within Africa even for people in neighboring countries and we have to wait for a video by an American,gosh. Thanks Drew.
Edit: This feels so rushed. I wonder why you didn't go into more detail. This is a country worth exploring.

Wow! I’m surprised that you mentioned my country which is the Philippines 🇵🇭 here in this video. Thank you for remembering my beautiful and friendly country Drew! You’re such an inspiration to all of us!
I love how they speak Spanish it’s so interesting.
Such a waste. A beautiful country with potentials must once again succumb under corruptions.
To be fair, the rest of the world does nothing to help because they don't gain anything from it...
You have just described every Hispanic country XD
The tourism would help a lot of locals... But the dictatorship is ruining it... I watched another video about the same country and I realised that the streets were really empty... I didn't know they were living under dictatorship...
Me encantó. Me suscribo. Espero conocer algún día ese hermoso país.
great video! many people don't know that they speak Spanish in Equatorial Guinea! Make sure to start learning it a couple months ahead of your trip so you feel confident in your skills!

Se ve a simple vista que es un país muy bello lleno de mucha naturaleza como mi Nicaragua ( aunque este jodida económicamente y tenemos a una familia de brutos gobernando con puño de hierro), que lástima que la corrupción tiene a su gente pobre sin necesidad de serlo con tanto recursos! Saludos a los hermanos latinoafricanos de Guinea ecuatorial de un Nicaragüense en Gringolandia! Ojalá llegue el día en que sean libres y sin necesidades y podamos viajar entre ambos continentes, ustedes serían la conexión directa de los latinoamericanos ( incluyendo a los hermanos de Brasil) al continente africano para el turismo pues hablamos el mismo idioma y seguro tenemos similitudes culturales también.

I like your Insight. I really enjoyed this video about Equatorial Guinea
Like pretty much all of Africa, the poverty is primarily due to corruption
Exactly. Someone tried to say in another comment that Africa already sucked before the imperialism & did this to themselves. Like, wtf‽
As much as every other country...
Poverty in America is due to corruption too. And there is massive poverty, homelessness and debt in America, a country that spends nearly a trillion dollars a year on the military. Talk about a waste of resources to benefit a few weapons contractors. By right everyone in America should live in a mansion rent-free if the resources of the country were shared equitably.
Colonialism, and neo colonialism
Un cordial saludo y un fuerte abrazo a nuestros hermanos de Guinea Ecuatorial, desde Colombia se les quiere!
I wish the Philippines spoke Spanish as the official language with Tagalog and English as minority languages 🇵🇭
Lol ipagpapalit mo sarili nating wika sa spanish? Dati kabang baliw? Lumayas ka sa pilipinas kinginamo kinain kana ng colonial mindset mo feeling westerner ka?
It would have been if the Spanish earlier on had taught the masses to do so but they didn't out of fear of rebellion.
That was super interesting. Thanks!

@@midnitkisser Como si no pudiésemos decir lo mismo de toda Hispanoamérica.
@@midnitkisser As opposed to being a slave of Spain like they once were? The US at least granted them their own sovereignty whereas Spain ran the entire nation as a plantation and would have never given the filipinos freedom had they not been humiliated in the Spanish-American War and lost the archipelago along with Cuba and Puerto Rico. Spain also brought racism that the country is struggling to recover from even today where lighter filipinos are preferred on television (to this day women wear gigantic hats and wear long sleeves lest they catch a tan) and the darker people are mocked. The Philippines made more progress during the short time that they belonged to the US than under the centuries of oppression under Spain which also could have never defended the nation from the Japanese during WWII like America did. When China becomes aggressive towards the nations in the South China Sea in their quest for world domination the Philippines will be glad that they are a "backyard" of America and not a plantation of an impotent Spain.
@@SquidProQuo80 who gave you Catholicism? Not the USA. Who's going to take all your resources? Yes the USA. Who s going to build military bases on your territory? Yes the USA.

Your country would be free by now without USA intervention but now you will never get freedom from the nation leaded by pure evil , yes the USA.
there is one Spanish dialect called "Chavacano" still spoken by over one million people in the Philippines, but the Spanish language as vehicular language for the dozen ethnic groups in the islands was replaced by English after the American invasion...but Filipinos kept Spanish names, food (paella, for example) and cities like Manila and Zamboanga. In fact, the islands and the people are called so to honor the King of Spain Felipe II (Philipe II)

It is not that expensive. His figures are very misleading. Someone cheated him (notice he is with people the whole time). You can stay in a hotel for $10 a night and eat a meal for $1-5 dollars. In a country where many people make $1-5 a day, the prices are set accordingly.
@@shawnreed7876 Assuming that he was cheated in hotel and food. You can't ignore $550 for air travel for that short distance.
@@ajinkya4268 Yes you can ignore that. He traveled from Douala. I also traveled from Douala into E Guinea for $10 overland into Rio Muni. Any idiot who has traveled in African knows that flights are the 30-50 times the price of overland transport. From Rio Muni flights and boats to Bioko from Bata are much much less expensive than flying Cronos or Ethiopian from Douala into Malabo. The guy is an idiot which is fine cause he makes a lot from his videos. What is annoying is it's inaccurate. E Guinea is one of the cheapest countries in the world (at least of the 106 countries I've been to)

Hola Soy de Guinea Ecuatorial 🇬🇶
Thanks heaps for this. :D
I did a project in Spanish class about this place very cool!
Amazing you learnt Spanish and not trying to put you down, as your Spanish seems pretty good, and like I said learning foreign languages (especially for us lazy native English speakers is a good thing for sure ) but anyway the point of this is if you use a collective noun such as pueblo or in this case gente then the conjugation should be third person singular not collective, so I this case present form hablar, would be la gente habla español not hablan, feel like any kind of correction like this comes off to so many people as hate, but as a native English speaker who speaks pretty much fluent Spanish and moderately advanced Russian I personally appreciate corrections as useful! Hope you do to love the content!
Hi Drew! I'm surprised you made it all the way to Equatorial Guinea. I lived with my family in Malabo for a total of 16 years, I taught a lot of people English and yes it is a wonderful country in its own right. I left there in 2013 but have so many fond memories, from shortages of all kind to how we got our water, I also have many frineds who still reach out to me 7 years later. I know that guy who took you around Lucas, he works for one of the many the ministries. I remember all too well when the build the 50+ hotel complexes at what used to be the pristine beach of Sipopo. :) We are a big deal in certain circles, historically and economically and I can definately vouch for the fact that we have the best roads in the region, and I've been to Douala on a number of occasions. Hotel Sofitel is a stone's throw from were I used to live, next to the CCEI bank
@M. P. Oh nice! Yeah, I would say the same, basically traditional face painting. If you were Bubi you would have white spots over your face, nipa palm leaves covering your body and this was generally accompanied by traditional ceremonial dances, either to welcome someone, venerate someone, or spiritual protection from evil forces, as witchcraft is a bit of a thing still there, though it is slowly dying out, as people have better things to do with their life than try to harm their neighbours or try to get rich quickly
I would like to see more of the people sharing and talking but it was good to know and to hear people speaking español sound little as my twon in puebla mexico. Saludos.
They have such bright and smiley faces. They talk in a very relatable way. I love it.
