Seychelles
Located 1,000 miles off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, these unique coral and granite islands offer the discerning visitor a relaxing and romantic venue, as well as being a wildlife paradise. The Seychelles are made up of 115 islands, covering a total land mass of 455 square kilometres scattered between 4º and 10º south of the equator. A population of some 80000 people lives mostly on three main inner islands: Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. Wildlife enthusiasts will find the archipelago facsinating. Birds and plants found nowhere else continue to thrive thanks to enlightened attitudes which have resulted in more than 40% of the land mass being set aside as nature reserves, National Parks and protected areas, including the UNESCO world heritage site of the Vallee de Mai rainforest, in Praslin.
Warm waters, lovely beaches, outstanding resorts and friendly people also draw visitors to these enchanting islands. It can be expensive to get to and hotels and food are by no means cheap, but it is a magical experience.
The Seychelles are a paradise. There has never been a better time to visit. |
