Spread over two archipelagos, it is the second smallest African country after the Seychelles, with a population nearing 200,000. Each archipelago is centred around the islands of S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 (Saint Thomas) and Pr\u00edncipe (Prince\u2019s Island). The film below provides a glimpse of these beautiful, mountainous islands, covered in thick jungle, where people still live a simple life&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Geographically it is a remarkable place. At some 31 million years old, these islands have never been part of the mainland. Flora and fauna are distinctive from those found in Gabon 250km to the east and Cameroon 300km to the north. The wind, sea currents and birds have carried all that grows to create a unique natural environment. <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">It competes favourably with the famous Galapagos islands in the number of native species, despite being only 1\/8th the size<\/span><\/strong>. There are still endemic discoveries to be made, a 2006 National Geographic expedition identified and catalogued many previously unknown marine species.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Having visited the Galapagos Islands more than twenty times we can\u2019t wait to compare it to S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe, the so-called \u2018African Galapagos\u2019. Join us on our adventure to discover the natural beauty and pristine waters of this unspoilt paradise!<\/span><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"imginline fr-fin fr-dib\" style=\"padding: 5px 1%;\" src=\"\/uploads\/3da0d1a21867fa6b39a1eb1ab4c29ed5afeae463.jpg\" alt=\"Image title\" width=\"50%\" height=\"auto\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"imginline fr-fin fr-dib\" style=\"padding: 5px 1%;\" src=\"\/uploads\/d557b2e84c7c31077d2b8b14e05d2eddeeccbd9b.jpg\" alt=\"Image title\" width=\"50%\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Only 13,000 people visit these islands annually. It\u2019s incredible with their ancient forests, unique nature and breathtaking beaches, they go virtually unnoticed by the wider tourism industry. Abandoned plantations, slowly overrun by the jungle; where sugar cane, coffee, and cocoa were grown; give a fascinating insight into the Portuguese colonisation up until independence in 1975. An interesting fact that certainly surprised us is that in 1908 these small unknown islands were the largest cocoa producers in the world!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"imginline fr-fin fr-dib\" style=\"padding: 5px 1%;\" src=\"\/uploads\/8daff7286a3e33243c9c15fb0497ad16051dc838.jpg\" alt=\"Image title\" width=\"50%\" height=\"auto\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"imginline fr-fin fr-dib\" style=\"padding: 5px 1%;\" src=\"\/uploads\/2509fd82840f26e2fc1d96e77f6ddf646885e957.jpg\" alt=\"Image title\" width=\"50%\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Ninety percent of the islands are covered by lush forest with the rest taken up by quaint, last century towns and villages. At 50km x 30km, S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 is larger, more mountainous and more populous than its sister island lying 140km away. The 5000 residents of Pr\u00edncipe live within an area of 30km x 6km, half of which contains the remarkable UNESCO established Biosphere Reserve. As a tropical island nation, stunning beaches go without saying&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fin fr-dib\" src=\"\/uploads\/8417ab82f8d78d911c4c09c76a0410aff7c31ee4.jpg\" alt=\"Image title\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">It is said that S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe had been organic and environmentally friendly long before these terms were ever coined. The potential of this region, with its enchanting character and a location protecting it from mass tourism, was first spotted by Mark Shuttleworth. Known as the first African citizen in space, he is also an entrepreneur who has invested in high quality hotel resorts where we will be based on our visit to these extraordinarily beautiful islands.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"imginline fr-fin fr-dib\" style=\"padding: 5px 1%;\" src=\"\/uploads\/7b19c5d41949280ec4060d4187f5902af3d422ee.jpg\" alt=\"Image title\" width=\"50%\" height=\"auto\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"imginline fr-fin fr-dib\" style=\"padding: 5px 1%;\" src=\"\/uploads\/81a4bcff285d28c30e084df74277c140bcfc1633.jpg\" alt=\"Image title\" width=\"50%\" height=\"auto\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fin fr-dib\" src=\"\/uploads\/aedbaf5e8af791ff21a63712935a110613f54146.jpg\" alt=\"Image title\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #e25041; font-size: 22px;\"><strong>Why visit?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">adventure into a tiny but charming African nation in one of the smallest corners of the world.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">enjoy pristine diving spots few people in the world have explored (I know one, and he was impressed!)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">experience the abundant native flora and fauna of ancient forests, including the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">connect with the islands\u2019 colonial past and visit the ruins of once-magnificent coffee and cocoa plantations.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">see the islands\u2019 enchanting scenery and experience their unique \u2018mystical\u2019 atmosphere on trips by vehicle and foot.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">relax on some of the most beautiful, undiscovered beaches in the world.
