São Tomé Profile

What you will see

Much of the main island is made up of steamy jungle with areas of original rainforest particularly in the south of the island. Although showers can be common, they tend be very localised and for short periods of the day. The north side of the island is effectively savannah with a drier climate. The influence of the Portuguese is clear to see, with many former coffee and cocoa plantations. Visitors now have the opportunity to stay on the plantations, or
‘Roças’ as some have started to work with rural tourism. Some Roças are located near beaches, offering wonderful sea views, in a perfect tranquil setting. All offer excellent trekking opportunities in the surrounding areas, or why not consider trekking between two plantations.

Throughout the country visitors will see many fine examples of colonial architecture, although often in a crumbling state, only adding to the laid back feel of São Tomé and Príncipe. Many travellers simply enjoy a stroll through the towns in search of the colourful markets. Others will want to visit during August to October, when whales and dolphins can be spotted off the northeast coast. Then each year between November and early February turtles, visit the country’s beaches to lay their eggs.

Those who appreciate trekking will enjoy the mountain forests, where it is possible to see the Giant Begonia, which can reach 3 metres high. Sao Tome has some of the world's rarest flora and fauna such as the Dwarf Olive Ibis, the Sao Tome Fiscal and the Sao Tome Grosbeak. The island has over 700 flower species, about one hundred of which are orchids, and the island is a paradise for ornithologists, with about 143 bird species recorded, including 26 of which are endemic.
