What is Seychelles Famous For?
Seychelles is an archipelago consisting of 115 granite and coral islands located off the east coast of Kenya, surrounded by the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. Seychelles is famous for its picturesque white-sand beaches, boulder-dotted coastlines, and verdant hills offer a sublime experience.
Seychelles is an ideal location if you are seeking a break from the bustle of the city and want some quiet time with the sounds of waves crashing on the gigantic boulders embalming your being. And when doldrums hit your vacation, there are many activities to participate in for a major adrenaline rush.
When is the Best Time to Visit Seychelles?
The best time to visit Seychelles, where the weather remains the most pleasant, between:
- April & May and October & November - These periods mark the transition between the north-western trade winds and the south-eastern trade winds, setting mild and enjoyable weather across Seychelles. These months are ideal for taking a dive, sunbathing, scuba diving, climbing hills, and wildlife watching. Also, tourists do not frequent Seychelles during these months, and hence, the islands will be a lot quieter and calm.
- December & January and July & August - Islands will be filled with tourists around these times, who come from countries far and wide to escape either a bitterly cold winter or scorching summer seasons.
- June to September - This period is notable in Seychelles for cold, dry weather. Sunbathing during these months is enjoyable as also taking long treks through its lush jungles. Also, surfing is a popular adventure sport during these months.
Safety Tips When Travelling to Seychelles
The precautions you need to take when vacationing in Seychelles are:
- Be wary with your valuables on the road, as there have been instances of snatching.
- Move-in large groups to avoid getting targeted or trailed by mob groups.
- With increasing instances of break-ins, it is safe to keep your valuables in a locker in the hotel you are staying.
- Choose a hotel that has adequate security facilities.
- Beware of pirates when on the sea, especially around Somalia and Gulf of Aden.
