Príncipe Island Safari Trips & Tours

An ancient and forgotten island of golden beaches, extinct volcanoes and lush rainforests.

São Tomé might be the larger of the two islands, but Príncipe is the name on everyone’s lips. The entire, 136-square kilometre island is in fact a UNESCO-recognised biosphere reserve and the ancient world of golden beaches, extinct volcanoes and lush forests is bewitching. So, what does one do in this enchanting, forgotten realm? On land, try a guided walk through the colourful ecosystem and learn a little of the history at the abandoned cocoa plantations, then take to the water and snorkel and dive in hidden coves and distant beaches. And whatever you do – leave your watch behind; this is life at its easy-going, chilled-out best.
