Bradt's São Tomé and Príncipe is the only standalone guide to Africa's second-smallest country, considered by some to be the centre of the world as it is the site of the closest point to the intersection of the Greenwich Meridian and the Equator. In this comprehensively updated third edition, Kathleen Becker, regular tour leader for a major tour operator on São Tomé, and Sean Connolly, who first visited and fell in love with São Tomé in 2015 and has been raving about ever since, provide priceless insider information to the best spots for sleeping, eating and drinking, hiking, watersports, turtle-watching and rainforest hikes.Since the previous edition of this guide, a wider choice of accommodation has become available trendy guesthouses, a surf lodge, a homestay and new plantation tourism on Príncipe to name a few options and the country has gained an even greater reputation as a gourmet hiking destination, from the best chocolate in the world to the freshest fish straight from th e beach alongside the equator mark.
