The Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe is a breath of fresh air. There is nothing cosmetic about it, and visitors will experience a raw feeling of closeness to nature.
The second smallest country in Africa (after Seychelles), the twin islands straddle the equator in the Gulf of Guinea. The pristine sandy beaches, dreamy waterfalls, lush rainforests, unique biodiversity, stupendous volcanic peaks, gushing streams, medicinal gardens, fruit farms, views over dense jungles and historic plantation sites, have all earned São Tomé and Príncipe epithets such as ‘Heaven on Earth’, ‘Africa’s Eden’ and ‘African Galapagos’.
