São Tomé and Príncipe

Africa

Discover São Tomé and Príncipe

Portugal clung onto this colony until as late as 1975 and after a short while in the twin archipelagos it hard not to see why: volcanic nuclei clad in mist forest give way to upland primary rainforest that harbours wonderful wildlife, much of it endemic, before the lower slopes emerge, spread with historic plantations of coffee, cocoa and succulent tropical fruits, all surrounded by paradise beaches and balmy azure waters.

And yet tourism is very much in its infancy here.

The locals, especially their enchanting children, still view outsiders as a wonderful curiosity and will relish the opportunity to show you the cultural heart and soul of their wonderful islands.

What to see on our São Tomé and Príncipe Group Tours
Discover a largely undiscovered, uniquely rewarding, and safe destination with an exciting blend of African and Portuguese cultures and a Caribbean feel
Swim from the black sand beaches at São João dos Angloares
Take a boat to tiny Rolas Island and walk to the equator line
Take a bike ride (or travel by car if you prefer) to a local cocoa plantation to see how chocolate is made
Combine your visit to São Tomé with an adventure in Angola, or for the ultimate undiscovered islands tour, with the British overseas territory of Saint Helena – one of the remotest places on earth

Although many of our tours are small group adventures with set departures, as a bespoke operator, we can design and create trips to suit any traveller, from solos to larger groups.

Most of our popular group tours are available on a private basis, allowing you the freedom to decide on when you would like to travel. Below we have given some sample pricing based on one or two people travelling.
