Countries that border Equatorial Guinea
2 land neighbours: Cameroon and Gabon. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
2 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 2 land borders are joint 8th-most in Africa — level with Egypt, Guinea-Bissau, Morocco, Sierra Leone, Eswatini and Tunisia. Of the 1 possible pairings among them, 1 is itself a border, which is what turns a list into a knot. Cameroon is the most connected of them, with 6 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Equatorial Guinea, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.
