PLAN MY STAY · HOW WE HELP

Tell Us About Your Trip.

Some trips you plan yourself. Some you want help with. Here is how we can help, whether you want a curated starting point or a fully custom plan built around your dates, your group, and your pace.

WANT MORE THAN THE MENU?

Tell Us About Your Trip.

Send us your dates, your group size, and a sentence about what kind of trip you want. We come back with a plan that fits, hotels we would recommend, transport sorted, and the right local contacts. Built around you, not a package.

Most messages get a response the same day.

THE PROCESS

How It Works

Three steps from your first message to your departure flight. Most trips lock in two or three rounds of back-and-forth.

01

Tell Us

WhatsApp or email us your dates, group size, and a few notes on what you want. We start the conversation.

02

We Curate

A draft plan comes back within 48 hours. Hotels we'd recommend, transport sorted, partners we trust on the ground.

03

You Enjoy

Bookings confirmed. The planning is done. The trip is set.

QUESTIONS · ANSWERED

About Planning With Us

How does this work?+

Pick a starting point. Browse our curated itineraries to see if one fits, look through the hotels and rental cars, or message us directly with what you want. We help you pull it together. The four service cards above route to the right page. Custom planning happens over WhatsApp or email.

Will you book everything for me?+

For some things, yes. We coordinate rental cars directly through our local partners (pay on arrival). For hotels and tours we recommend the right options and either route you to direct booking or coordinate the reservation depending on the property. For everything else, we send you the right link or contact.

How long until I hear back?+

Most WhatsApp messages get a response within a few hours during the day in São Tomé. For a full custom itinerary, expect a first draft within 48 hours.

Can you handle group trips and special occasions?+

Yes. Honeymoons, family groups of six to ten, small private events. The smaller hotels and roças handle these well. Tell us the occasion and group size, we shape the plan around it.

What if I already have some bookings?+

That is fine. Many travellers come to us with flights booked and a hotel or two reserved. We work with what you have and fill in the rest. Send us the bookings you have, we plan around them.

Do you cover both islands?+

Yes. São Tomé and Príncipe. We help with the inter-island flight, accommodation on both, and what to do in your time on each.

READY?

No commitment, no obligation, no upfront fee. Tell us about your trip and we go from there.
