Best Time to Visit Sao Tome & Principe

The best time to visit São Tomé & Príncipe is during the dry seasons, which occur from June to September and again from mid-December to February. These periods offer sunny skies, warm temperatures, and ideal conditions for beach escapes, hiking, and wildlife viewing—especially for spotting nesting sea turtles or humpback whales offshore. However, the rainy seasons also have their charm, with lush rainforests in full bloom and fewer tourists, making it a great time for photography and cultural exploration. Each season reveals a different side of the islands.
