When to go
The best time to visit São Tomé runs from
June to September, while in Príncipe, it runs from
mid-June to mid-September, since it is the driest period, when it rarely rains. However, it should be remembered that the sky is often cloudy even in this season.
What to pack
Throughout the year, bring
tropics-friendly, loose-fitting clothing, light shirts and pants of natural fibers (cotton, linen) or synthetics that breathe, and possibly a light sweatshirt for the evening; a light raincoat or umbrella for the rain showers. From June to September, you can add a light jacket for the evening.
To climb Pico de São Tomé, bring a sweater, a jacket, a raincoat, and hiking shoes.
