Body & Ashes Repatriation Sao Tome and Principe

Sao Tome and Principe is a small island nation located in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western coast of Central Africa. It has a population estimated to be around 200,000 people. It is known for its tropical beaches, lush rainforests, and rich biodiversity. The official language spoken in Sao Tome and Principe is Portuguese.

The presence of British or Irish people in Sao Tome and Principe is relatively limited. However, there may be British or Irish tourists visiting Sao Tome and Principe for its pristine nature, diving opportunities, and ecotourism initiatives. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various recreational activities, and appreciate the unspoiled natural landscapes, endemic species, and cultural traditions of Sao Tome and Principe.
