Seychelles

Seychelles is a group of 115 islands, located in the Indian Ocean, just east of Somalia in eastern Africa. Majority of islands in this island chain are uninhabited, many being nature reserves.

These are also the most popular islands to visit.

Experience:

Exploring Mahé Island, Seychelles

Mahé is the largest island in the Seychelles and the only which houses an international airport. It has a rugged, jungle interior with large mountains protruding out from the centre. The coastlines are dominated with gorgeous white-sand beaches, fringed by turquoise waters. I visited Mahé for several weeks with the aim of exploring all that this unique island has to offer.

Beach at Port Glaud, north Mahe, Seychelles

Lost & Scared in the North of Mahé

I jumped into our scorching hot car, practically burning myself on the seat. Above us, the sun shone down relentlessly, hardly a cloud in the sky to threaten its brilliance.
