What are some typical ways to socialize, either with local people or with other expatriates? Are there groups or clubs that you can recommend?
Normally we socialize in parties at private residences. - Apr 2021
Again, the expat community is very supportive of each other. There are no formal groups. There is something here called the "Malabo pour" which means that they make the alcoholic drinks super strong, so definitely DO NOT drink and drive. - Jul 2020

Again, you make your own fun here. There are some discotecas and night clubs but most social life revolves around getting together with friends for dinner, drinks, games, etc. If you make friends with people who work at the oil companies, they often have events on their compounds. - Sep 2014
There are social opportunities, but one must put forth effort. The oil companies regularly have activities and are pretty welcoming. - Jun 2012
