Pico Basilé National Park

Pico Basilé National Park, Protected national park in Bioko Norte, Equatorial Guinea

Pico Basilé National Park covers 30,000 hectares on Bioko Island with dense rainforests surrounding a volcanic peak that reaches about 3,011 meters in elevation. The mountain and its forested slopes form the core structure of this protected area.

The mountain was historically known as Pico de Santa Isabel before the area gained formal national park status in 2000. This designation represented a major shift toward protecting the island's natural environment.

The park lies in the territory of the Bubi, the indigenous people of Bioko, and is named after Pico Basilé, the island's highest summit at 3,011 m. Since 2007 a national decree has banned hunting of various species, yet international organisations have voiced concern over non-compliance. Government measures instead promote sustainable hunting to support local rural communities.

Official permits are required to access certain park sections and mountain expeditions must be arranged in advance. Hiring a registered guide is necessary to navigate the terrain safely and understand the park's regulations.

The park's bird list includes the Bioko speirops, a white-eye found only on this island, alongside Cameroon olive-pigeons, green longtails and mountain saw-wings. BirdLife International designated the park an Important Bird Area for these populations.
