Sao Tome and Principe tours have been growing in popularity over the last couple of years, not least because of the sheer beauty of the beaches and jungle combination in remote locations, ensuring a peaceful and relaxing vacation.

The islands of Sao Tome and Principe also have an interesting history. Enslaved individuals from mainland Africa were forced to work here on sugar plantations, and later coffee and cacoa. A number of the plantations remain and their crumbing architecture offers a beautiful and eerie insight into the history of the region.

Sao Tome and Principe is a great add-on trip and easy to do from Ghana, or you can do it as a slow-paced tour on its own.
