Real Talk:
Despite our attempt at keeping our São Tomé & Príncipe Travel Documentary as authentic as possible, you are still watching a highlight reel. When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting clips.
Full Disclosure:
This trip was partially sponsored as we did collaborate with HBD Príncipe. As such, our stays at Sundy Praia, Roça Sundy, and one night at Omali were complimentary. All other expenses were covered by us.

Thank you so much, Sharon! Always a pleasure reading your comments ❤ And you are completely right, those beaches are a tropical paradise for sure 😊
What a masterpiece. What a dream to be able to travel there.
Stunning documentary - such a beautiful and unspoiled island! The idea of sustainable tourism is also very promising including social impact for the locals. The ruins of the colonial past gave me chills, as São Tomé is the birthplace of the exclusive enslavement of Africans for the plantation economy - which was then exported to America. Great documentary!
New and good information about Sao Tome and Principe forest 🌳👍
Beautiful like all the videos. And so glad to see more of less travelled country. The Forests are just

You just get better and better! Extremely delightful --- your blending of spiritual-heroic music --- with world-class drone photography. Your camera resolution is also awesome --- like that closeup of the crab.

After watching all of your videos since the inception of your videos, what I want to say is give me an opportunity to explore with you for at least one country, wherein all of my expenses will be borne by myself.
As usual, very well done!! I'm curious to know how many languages you speak? Your pronunciations seem spot on!! Thankyou for another beautiful journey!!

For the central part and the west coast, yes! For the south east drive, we stayed one night near Porto Alegre in a very run down hotel that we fled as quickly as we could 😅

Ich warte schon so lange darauf das einer so ein aufklärendes Video über principe zeigt. Auf google gibt es so wenig Bilder davon und jetzt dein Video 😍 Im süden von Principe gibt es dort in den Fischerdörfer auch Unterkünfte? Wie lange wart ihr auf der Reise und was waren eure ungefähren Kosten?

Vielen lieben Dank! Es freut uns sehr, dass dir unser Video gefällt :) Soweit wir wissen, gibt es in den Fischerdörfern keinerlei Unterkünfte. Manche der Dörfer sind auch von Einheimischen nur einen Teil des Jahres bewohnt. Wir waren insgesamt 14 Tage im Land, davon 9 Tage auf Principe. Es gibt auf jeden Fall einen Wanderweg der in den südlichen Teil der Insel führt, spezifisch zum Roça Infante :)
Still haven´t watched the video, but i know it´s going to be good. Will you publish an ebook for this one?
