Who we are

Sanzala Travels
is a sustainable travel agency founded by a São Toméan living in Germany.
We specialise in tailor-made journeys to São Tomé and Príncipe, with a special focus on the pristine island of Príncipe.

We blend affordable luxury with authentic, conscious travel — offering personalised experiences that celebrate the islands’ rich culture, biodiversity, and natural beauty.

What we stand for

Sustainable by Nature
We are deeply committed to responsible tourism. By working with local communities, NGOs and authorities, we promote low-impact travel that supports cultural preservation, environmental protection, and local economies.
