The town of Río Benito is located in the coastal zone of the mainland region of Equatorial Guinea (Río Muni District) and is an important port town in the province of Centro Sur (Provincia de Centro Sur). The town is situated at the mouth of the Benito River, on the Atlantic Ocean, about 250 kilometers from the capital city of Malabo, and is a hub of land and water transportation connecting the sea with the interior.
The town of Benito River relies on a natural harbor to develop fishing and timber trade, and the surrounding area is covered with tropical rainforests, which are rich in high quality timber such as Okume wood.

The climate is characterized by tropical rainforests, with high temperatures and heavy rains throughout the year.
The inhabitants are mainly from the Fang ethnic group, and Spanish and French are the official languages. The town retains its colonial architecture and has a modern marina. With land access to neighboring Gabon and a small airport nearby to support regional traffic, it is an important gateway for exploring the rainforest ecology and cultural heritage of the mainland region of Equatorial Guinea.
