Discover Príncipe, 8 Days

Located 300 kilometres off the coast of Gabon, and just 16 kilometres long and 8 kilometres wide, Príncipe is a tiny paradise of natural wonders. Originally formed by a volcano, the island’s geology has been eroded over millions of years, leaving spires of rock bedecked with lush rainforest. Today this is one of the most exciting new adventures to await travellers to Africa.
