 Giant tortoises, which roam a number of Seychelles' 115 islands, can weigh in at up to 300kg |
An old slogan gets it just right: French enough to have a natural joie de vivre, English enough have an islander's reserve, Asian enough to present a discreet charm, and African enough to have an exotic beauty and rhythm in their veins, the Seychellois people have blended their influences into one potent Creole concoction. This is a 'trophy' destination, one which fires the senses and imagination even before arrival. There is a funky, almost Jamaican groove to Victoria on Mahé, which, with a population of just 27,000, may well be the smallest capital city in the world.
This piece starts in Mahé, and goes on to embrace a number of outlying islands and resorts.
