Wildlife holidays in Seychelles
Tell me about the Seychelles …
The Republic of the Seychelles is composed of a scattered archipelago of wonderful islands in the equatorial western Indian Ocean.
They hold an exceptional and diverse natural history, and the larger granitic islands have a rugged and often precipitous relief which is particularly beautiful.
Our Seychelles specialist recommends...
‘The Seychelles’ are
an idyllic backdrop for a wildlife holiday and we try to make the most of our
time on these islands. Endemic birds and flora provide plenty of interest as do
large variety of endemic insects and reptiles.

WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SAYING ABOUT OUR Seychelles HOLIDAYS
Gemma was superb - immensely knowledgeable and keen for us to have the best possible experience. No praise would be too high. The huge range of wildlife that we saw; Gemma's immense knowledge and experience and her willingness to share it; the fact that Gemma helped to add more snorkelling opportunities for those who love it; snorkelling with turtles; visiting Cousin; the barbecue on Curieuse, the Vallee de Mai; the whole ambience of Bird Island - and the very interesting fellow passengers worked well on the tour.
Bird Island was a delight and the accommodation excellent. Our leader Gemma Jesse was knowledgeable about history, politics, botany, everything which made for enjoyable conversation.
Gemma was brilliant! One of best leaders we have had. Knowledgeable naturalist and very able leader. Gemma made a good holiday excellent.
