Seychelles Travel Guide

Seychelles is a popular beach destination, both in its own right and as an add-on to an African safari. Most people will book their stay at one of the hotels and do day trips from there. However, if you’re keen to explore, island hopping for a couple of weeks will give you a real taste of this tropical paradise.
