Situated just north of Madagascar, the Seychelles archipelago is made up of 115 islands in the western Indian Ocean. Its Outer Islands, in particular, are home to miniature worlds that contain untouched habitats teeming with wildlife.

The cosmopolitan Seychellois are a colourful and harmonious blend of different races, which stem from African, European, and Asian roots all of whom have brought something of their own customs and way of life to the islands. The result is a charming Creole culture enriched from the melting pot of many continents.
