THE SEYCHELLES ISLANDS
The Seychelles are located in the western part of the Indian Ocean, northeast
of Madagascar, formerly a British colony. The 400,000 sq km country is inhabited by
approximately 70, 000 people. It is an isolated archipelago of outstanding natural
beauty that comprises about 115 islands.
There are granite and coral islands, and both have luxuriant tropical forest
and vegetation, apart from screw pines, tortoise trees and the giant coco de mer palm,
which is unique to the Seychelles and lives for up to 1,000 years. The fauna of these
islands includes fruit bats, flying foxes, geckos and skinks (types of lizards), giant
tortoises, many species of rare birds, Seychelles kestrel (a type of falcon), black
parrot, and paradise flycatchers. Four islands have been declared distinct bird
sanctuaries, including Bird Island, which is inhabited by millions of fairy terns.
The climate in the Seychelles is tropical marine and humid: There are two
seasons: The Dry Season, with cooler weather (May to October); and the Wet
Season, with warmer weather (November to April).
