Taking up less than 400 square miles in the Gulf of Guinea, this tiny volcanic archipelago is an ‘off-the-grid’ getaway perfect for experiencing an authentic island lifestyle. Only two miles north of the equator, the entire isle is a gigantic shield volcano that climbs over 6,000 feet above sea level. So if you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path sanctuary or exploring the Cameroon line, book your next African adventure with a private jet to São Tomé with Evo.
São Tomé is the larger island of São Tomé and Principe, and many smaller isles surround it, including Ilhéu das Rolas, Ilhéu das Cabras and Ilhéu Gabado. Each individual island exudes its own secluded aura that attracts globetrotters worldwide in search of a tropical oasis far from the busy city lights and heavy tourist traffic.
Floating miles off the West African Coast, this hidden emerald is a jungle oasis in the middle of turquoise waters. Obô National Park is a stunning highlight, rooted in thick rainforests, making for the ultimate jungle trek and immersion. Nature lovers can charter a private flight to São Tomé with evoJets and dive into the miles of protected reserve, weaving through 65-foot-high waterfalls and volcanic landscapes.
Pico de São Tomé, the highest point in the park, is a gorgeous treat to the end of a long hike. It rises over 6,000 meters above sea level and can be seen almost anywhere on the island. Another sight not to miss is Pico Cão Grande, a massive needle-shaped volcano that is almost always surrounded by a swirling misty cloud.
São Tomé is a haven for more than just fauna; the wildlife is incredible, with a high number of species that don’t exist anywhere else in the world. Mona monkeys, over 140 species of birds, and a world of marine life are all uniquely endemic to the island.
No private charter trip to São Tomé is complete without heading to the southern tip to explore Praia Piscina. The beach is named after the geological rock formations that shelter the crystal-clear rock pools from the ocean’s waves. The volcanic shores are an excellent spot to cool down after a long afternoon hike in the jungle.
The island’s culture is a unique blend of Portuguese and West African influence and is nothing short of vibrant and sweet—thanks to their ample cocoa and coffee plantations. Known as the ‘chocolate islands,’ São Tomé is a hub for incredible cuisine and decadent tropical desserts.
When visiting São Tomé by private jet, consider a private charter flight to Príncipe, its neighboring island.
