São Tomé & Príncipe Transport

Getting there & away

Contents

Sea

There is a cargo ship that leaves for São Tomé from Port Mole in Libreville (Gabon), though the journey is not recommended or safe, and won’t save you that much cash.

Air

Almost all travellers arrive by air via Gabon or Portugal. Flights leave a few times weekly from Libreville (Gabon) with either Air São Tomé (in São Tomé town 221160) or Air Service Gabon, costing around US$350 to US$450. Direct flights from Lisbon (Portugal) leave a few times weekly with TAP Air Portugal (flights from US$1000). There are also now direct weekly flights to Angola, Ghana and Cape Verde with TAAG Angolan Airlines.
