Saint Helena

A South Atlantic island, Napoleon's place of exile and final rest, with striking volcanic scenery and endemic species.

Saint Helena is a volcanic island in the middle of the South Atlantic and a British Overseas Territory. Its capital, Jamestown, is built along a valley. Napoleon spent the last years of his life here, and his residence at Longwood House and his original burial site are the main sights. Other experiences include climbing the steep Jacob's Ladder, hiking to Diana's Peak, and watching whale sharks and dolphins. The island has many endemic plants and animals, as well as Jonathan, a tortoise said to be the oldest living land animal in the world. The climate is mild and the island can be visited year-round, with the whale shark season around the start of the year. Access is mainly by scheduled flights via Johannesburg, South Africa.
