Advertising: Bioko Island Expedition, November 2026
The Expedition Impact Lab is assembling a new model for expedition travel: designing itineraries for small groups of travelers and investing profit in related community-led conservation projects. Our first expedition, developed in partnership with Drill Films, is to Equatorial Guinea in Central Africa.
Join us on expedition to Bioko Island’s remote rainforest from November 22 — December 5, 2026! Our travel partner, The Drill Project, is dedicated to conserving the endangered Bioko drill – a shy keystone species, yet charismatic primate.
This itinerary involves backpacking the southern coast of Bioko Island and camping along the way. Accommodations in the field are primitive, and follow the research camp style established on the southern coast. The Luba Caldera Scientific Reserve contains dense rainforest and high biodiversity, which descend toward beaches and rugged coastline along the Gulf of Guinea. In addition to watching for drills, we will also look for colobus monkeys, pangolins, duikers, and more island fauna.
On this expedition, the team will trek along the coastline and upwards to the Gran Caldera. Camp locations emphasize wildlife hotspots, to observe primates from hides and walk beaches where sea turtles nest through the night. The route may include 40 miles of trekking, depending upon group goals. On day one, the team will gather to look at maps and prepare for departure into the jungle for two weeks without cell service.
The expedition price includes group meals, lodging (in double occupancy accommodations and tents while on expedition), in-country transportation, expert leadership, permits, administrative, and local guide rates. The cost is $3,995 USD per person — with questions, send an inquiry through the interest form. For conservation purposes, a detailed itinerary, scheduled call, and booking link are available upon request.
There will be a virtual briefing session with the team in October to discuss mandatory vaccinations, visa applications, a packing list, risks, and ecology on Bioko Island.
Custom dates and itineraries are available, and during the 2026-2027 dry season, can be arranged from December through March with Drill Films.
Expedition Impact Lab isn’t presenting a finished model – but testing one. What comes next will be shaped by experiences on Bioko Island.
We hope you will join us!
