Africa’s lesser-known islands offer some of the continent’s most enchanting summer escapes, blending untouched nature with rich cultural character. From the coral-fringed serenity of Mohéli to Rodrigues’s volcanic trails and tranquil lagoons, each destination promises seclusion and adventure in equal measure. São Tomé and its sister island Príncipe captivate travelers with rainforests, colonial heritage, and world-renowned cocoa culture, while Kenya’s historic Lamu charms with dhow sailing and Swahili tradition. Further south, Mozambique’s Quirimbas Archipelago and Madagascar’s Nosy Komba provide wildlife encounters, remote beaches, and vibrant marine life. Together, these islands deliver a refreshing alternative to mainstream getaways, inviting travelers to slow down and rediscover true island tranquility.
