Marooned off the coast of Gabon, the volcanic islands of Sao Tome & Principe are a largely undiscovered, uniquely rewarding and safe destination with an exciting blend of African, Portuguese and Caribbean cultures. You can explore secluded beaches and colonial plantation houses; spot endemic rainforest birds and learn about medicinal plants; scale the Pico and dive in toasty waters; taste the world´s best chocolate; and watch turtles hatching and get into the laid-back, ´leve-leve´ Santomean groove. This remains the only dedicated guide to this island paradise.
