SEYCHELLES
The Seychelles, also called the "Galapagos
of the Indian Ocean," is made up of approximately 115 islands, unspoiled with
construction of new hotels strictly limited. The people are extremely friendly,
the beauty of the islands unmatched - an excellent choice for an add-on to a
safari or a honeymoon. The eclectic cuisine is influenced by India, Asia and
France. The Seychelles lies outside the cyclone belt with a climate that is warm
and humid year round. Due to its geographic isolation, the flora and fauna is
unique; it includes the giant land tortoise (150,000 of them!), the smallest
frog on earth and endemic birdlife. Nearly 50% or the land is set aside for
national parks, World Heritage sites and Nature reserves and the diving is
amongst the best in the world.
Area: 455 sq/km (176 sq/m) ▪ Population: 85,000 ▪ Capital: Victoria on the
