Hidden in the Gulf of Guinea, off the west coast of Africa lie the spectacular volcanic islands of Sao Tome and Principe. These are the islands time forgot, a real-life Jurassic park, but without the dinosaurs! Our tailor-made holidays are put together from our own extensive experiences of travelling around the islands and could see you doing everything from hiking through tropical rainforests to relaxing in hammocks and snorkelling with tropical fish.
