São Tomé and Príncipe, the least visited country in Africa - Highlights of São Tomé island
The African islands of São Tomé and Príncipe are nestled in the warm equatorial waters of the Gulf of Guinea and are often forgotten by most travelers. Over the last few years, the country has become a true paradise for eco-tourism with its expansive lush jungle, love for slow food, picture-perfect beaches, and jaw-dropping mountainous volcanic landscape.
The main island of São Tomé is full of incredible experiences: from the coastline shaped by immense pressure of volcanic activity (such as Boca do Inferno blowhole) and scattered with pristine sandy beaches, to steep vertigo-inducing basaltic spires (such as Pico Cao Grande) and ruined plantation houses (like Ribeira Ize). Perhaps the most mysterious experiences are found in the surrounding islets - sailing under the rocky Ilheu de Santana is definitely unforgettable. To top it all of, the people of São Tomé will charm all the visitors with their lively culture and unique cuisine.

São Tomé and Príncipe, officially the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe (Portuguese: República Democrática de São Tomé e Príncipe), is an island country in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western equatorial coast of Central Africa. It consists of two archipelagos around the two main islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, about 140 km (87 mi) apart and about 250 and 225 km (155 and 140 mi) off the northwestern coast of Gabon.
The islands were uninhabited until their discovery by Portuguese explorers in the 15th century. Gradually colonized and settled by the Portuguese throughout the 16th century, they collectively served as a vital commercial and trade center for the Atlantic slave trade. The rich volcanic soil and proximity to the Equator made São Tomé and Príncipe ideal for sugar cultivation, followed later by cash crops such as coffee and cocoa; the lucrative plantation economy was heavily dependent upon imported African slaves. Cycles of social unrest and economic instability throughout the 19th and 20th centuries culminated in peaceful independence in 1975. São Tomé and Príncipe has since remained one of Africa's most stable and democratic countries.
With a population of 201,800 (2018 official estimate),[11][5] São Tomé and Príncipe is the second-smallest African sovereign state after Seychelles, as well as the smallest Portuguese-speaking country. Its people are predominantly of African and mestiço descent, with most practicing Catholic Christianity. The legacy of Portuguese rule is also visible in the country's culture, customs, and music, which fuse European and African influences. São Tomé and Príncipe is a founding member state of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries.

São Tomé and Príncipe, the least visited country in Africa - Highlights of Príncipe island
The African islands of São Tomé and Príncipe are nestled in the warm equatorial waters of the Gulf of Guinea and are often forgotten by most travelers. Over the last few years, the country has become a true paradise for eco-tourism with its expansive lush jungle, love for slow food, picture-perfect beaches, and jaw-dropping mountainous volcanic landscape.
The pristine island of Príncipe is home to only 7,000 inhabitants and offers unrivaled natural landscapes: from incredible snorkeling/diving and paradise-like sandy beaches to enjoy all on your own, to sweeping vistas over the needle-like volcanic spires (the most inspiring of which is Baia das Agulhas or Bay of Needles) and enormous waterfalls (such as Oque Pipi), to the remains of old plantations (like Roca Sundy and Roca Paciencia). There is no better way to recover from modern life than to spend a few days in Praia Sundy which will spoil all your senses. To top it all of, the people of Príncipe will charm all the visitors with their warmth, lively culture and unique cuisine.

A Crazy Journey to the EQUATOR (in São Tomé)
HELLO from São Tomé and Príncipe - my 145th country! It's a tiny Portuguese-speaking island just 200 miles West of Gabon in Central Africa.
This morning, someone at my guesthouse told me that the Equator runs through the very bottom part of the country, so I decided to go on a wild journey to find it, and document every step of the way. Have you ever been to the equator?
**NOTE** -- This video style is a completely new approach for me. It's longer, unscripted and there's no voice over. I would really appreciate if you could give me some feedback on it. What did you like and what did you not like ? Should I do these kind of spontaneous vlog videos more often? Or stick to my old style of educational/documentary videos? Thank you so much!

Welcome to the tranquil islands of SaoTome and Principe. Rising from the the warm Atlantic waters, a green tropical country, blessed by nature and friendly people awaits you.
Sao Tome - A Friendly Island
The small Atlantic Island nation of São Tomé and Príncipe is an undiscovered gem with empty beaches, lush tropical rainforests, volcanoes, and interesting mixture of cultures. These remote islands offer good opportunities for fishing, diving, trekking and wildlife viewing in a safe environment. As a destination that has been hard to get to, São Tomé and Príncipe still remains untouched by mass tourism.

Nós estivemos lá.
Gostávamos que sentissem o cheiro da ilha, que pisassem a terra, que vissem as cores da fruta e do mar... que ouvissem as histórias das pessoas, das roças ou a frase “doce, doce, doce”. Gostávamos que provassem o peixe fresco, a fruta-pão e a banana frita.
No entanto, o melhor que podemos trazer-vos são as imagens, é este vídeo. São Tomé e Príncipe, as ilhas onde se pratica o dar e receber, onde se vive “leve-leve”.
Obrigado São Tomé por abanares os nossos corações ????????❤️

Sao Tome and Principe a world to discover
A destination in the center of the world with so much to appreciate and to live, it seems that forced the time to pass slowly.
Sao Tome and Principe is a caprice of nature, making it a more preserved island destination in Equatorial Africa with an exuberant nature, in full of symbiosis with the sea and beaches, where active tourism and ecotourism find the perfect scenary...
A true ecological paradise, the african myth is stamped on the face, here lives one of unexplored spaces and wild nature in Africa. Where the green each once more exuberant does not admit alternatives, only changing...
The aggregations and differentiator elemet of Sao Tome and Principe is experience.
Ideal for tourists traveling and looking for a new and distinct experience in relation with the other typical sun and sea tourists destinations.

This is my country came with me to get to know it. Sao Tome and Principe is a small country, consisting of two beautiful islands located right in the middle of Golf of Guinea, just a few miles of the coast of Africa.
As we´re really close to the equator, here it is always warm, which is very good to travel around the island and discover all the beatiful things that we have to offer.
Most of the island's is coverd by a huge forest that we call obô and it is from it that we collect most of our food... And this is also the home of many animal and plant species that only live here because of our sustainable way of planting.
But to discover other incredible creatures we have to visit the beautiful water that surround our islands.
Here we can find our magnificent beaches and it is from this beautiful blue sea that our ever-fresh fish comes from which we eat every day...
Exploring Ponta Figo from Mucumbli Lodge
Beautiful and secluded, the northern part of the country has an entirely different feel than the southern part. We had a fantastic stay at Mucumbli and then headed off to summit the Pico de São Tomé. Also fantastic for those that don't mind getting a bit dirty. Sadly, the drone couldn't make that trip.
