Hi,

I have visited Sao Tome and Principe in May/June. I have enjoyed it,
very nice people, interesting landscape. Principe has had maybe 4
tourists, when I was there.


A travel agency at Sao Tome with useful tips and some "bargains":

Flight:

Tap Air Portugal: My luggage arrived one week later.



Health: malaria prophylaxis, yellow fever vaccination,
further: hepatitis, typhus, ask your doctor

Black cobras are prevalent in the deep forest, I have seen two, the
bigger one was maybe 3m long.

Child friendly: Climate and possible diseases could be too hard for
children, but people are friendly to children. But I have not seen any
Tourists with children.


Best months: May - September, maybe January


good music: Sangazuza, Africa Negra, Os Ma's, Grupo Tempo
