Overview

São Tomé is a tropical paradise covered with rainforests, savannahs and mangroves. It hosts one of world´s richest endemic fauna and flora. On this one-week trip we will take advantage of a dry season to explore the island and its biodiversity and we will look for rare and extraordinary birds such as dwarf olive ibis (Bostrychia bocagei). Summing up, it will be possible to look for more than 60 bird species that do not exist in Europe, and of which over a third are endemic of São Tomé and Príncipe archipelago.

What type of environmental education activities do you incorporate into your tour?

All the tour is very enriching in terms of the biodiversity and livelihoods of the country. São Tomé and Príncipe is a biodiversity and endemism hotspot at the same level of importance of the Galapágos.

We will learn about medicinal plants and visit organic coffee and cocoa plantations.
