São Tomé and Príncipe Trips & Tours

Despite Google weather forecasts showing rain and thunderstorms for much of the year in São Tomé and Príncipe, this certainly isn’t the case! It does of course rain at certain times but if you’re looking to avoid any showers, try visiting from June to September. The skies are a little cloudier and it’s cooler (great for hiking and exploring) and the humpback whales can be seen on the north-east coast during August and September. In October, the short rains start but the sun still shines and it’s also the beginning of the turtle nesting season that lasts until February. January is a dry month and the temperature rises before the rains start falling again in February up until around April. Both April and May are ‘mix and match’ months with both rain and sunny intervals, but also a little cooler which makes hiking and trekking much more enjoyable.
