- São Tomé and Príncipe ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on the official São Tomé and Príncipe portal or with the embassy; some nationalities have visa-free stays.
- São Tomé and Príncipe ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and check the yellow fever vaccination certificate requirement for entry.
- São Tomé and Príncipe ↗Inter-island flights are small and infrequent; book them before other nights and allow a buffer day before your international flight.
- São Tomé island ↗Roads outside the town are slow and rough: allow twice the time a map shows and travel in daylight.
- São Tomé ↗Broken pavements and few taxis: bags go from the car to the hotel door, never on a walk.
- São Tomé ↗After dark, ask the hotel to book a taxi door to door; do not walk between areas on unlit streets.
