São Tomé and Príncipe
São Tomé and Príncipe sits in the Gulf of Guinea, straddling the equator roughly 250 kilometres off the coast of Gabon. Two volcanic islands and several smaller islets make up one of Africa's smallest and least-visited nations, where dense rainforest pushes down to the shore and the pace of life is unhurried.
About São Tomé and Príncipe
Overview
The archipelago lies in Central Africa's Atlantic waters, with São Tomé Island the larger of the two main islands and home to the capital, São Tomé City. Portuguese is the official language, and the dobra is the local currency. The population is largely descended from enslaved Africans and Portuguese settlers, producing a distinct Creole culture shaped by colonial plantation history and island isolation.
