Gabon Information - Islands
Sao Tome & Principe
Off the coast of Gabon lies the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe, a handful of small islands and one of the smallest countries in the world. The two main islands are heavily forested and mountainous with idyllic palm-fringed beaches and mangrove swamps. Tourism is still limited to one resort on Principe so the islands are very much off the beaten track. The main draw for most visitors is the chance to relax and the unique flora and fauna, with many endemic species, including 26 endemic birds and 120 plants; among them some of the world's rarest such as the Dwarf Olive Ibis, the Sao Tome Fiscal and Sao Tome Grosbeak.Please contact us for more details on how to factor this amazing place into your itinerary.
