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’s 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.

Group Tours

• 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

Feedback from our Travellers

  • All dealt with easily. Second trip with Undiscovered Destinations and thinking of more but they would probably be self-tailored for two. Not getting any younger. Great people Very helpful and fun to deal with. Our driver was very helpful, spoke French which we do and the guide who spoke English really went out of his way to show us a few individual interests. Never late and open to suggestions. Local boss man very helpful too.

  • The flight to Principe initially had to be changed, and then the plane went tech and all flights were cancelled. Our guide kept us fully in the loop at every step, the team made sure we had an amazing experience whilst behind the scenes rapidly rewriting the whole itinerary. They took a couple of suggestions from us, and incorporated those too. True professionalism by all involved!
