Located 300 kilometres off the coast of Gabon, and just 16 kilometres long and 8 kilometres wide, Príncipe is a tiny paradise of natural wonders. Originally formed by a volcano, the island’s geology has been eroded over millions of years, leaving spires of rock bedecked with lush rainforest. Today this is one of the most exciting new adventures to await travellers to Africa.

Ocean Meets Forest
Slip into the warm ocean waters and feel the sand drop away. Here the tidal differences are small which makes for some of the best beach swimming in Africa. Warm, crystal clear waters with a sand base.
People & History
