Principe Island
Formerly known as 'the chocolate islands' because they were once one of the world's largest cacao producers, these islands have become known as 'Africa's Galapagos' for the variety of trees and plants on Principe Island, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. There are few places as exotic and raw as this in which to connect with nature as it is, whether you are exploring ancient mountains and pristine jungle, learning how historic plantations are being revived, or watching turtle hatchlings run towards the ocean.
