Go Turtle Watching in São Tomé and Príncipe

-

Turtles are endangered, and the ones that are currently surviving have endured the hazards of water pollution, climate change, etc. Over and above this, they migrate thousands of kilometres from their foraging grounds to their nesting sites. That’s why it is incredibly special to watch a female turtle laying her eggs or her young being hatched. November to March is the best time for turtle nesting and hatching trips on the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, and African nations close to the equator. These islands are rich in biodiversi­ty and are covered with rainforest­s. As part of the turtle watching tour, you’ll also get to learn about the conservati­on of this threatened species. saoferias.st
