Mahe
Mahe (or Mahé) is the largest island in the Seychelles, known for its capital Victoria, stunning beaches (like Beau Vallon), lush Morne Seychellois National Park
Morne Seychellois National Park is the largest national park in the Seychelles, covering over 20% of Mahé island's landmass and home to its highest peak, the Morne Seychellois mountain. The park offers diverse ecosystems, from mangrove swamps to cloud forests, and is a haven for hikers and nature lovers.
The large tortoises at the Seychelles National Botanical Gardens are Aldabra giant tortoises, known for their impressive size, long lifespans that often exceed 100 years, and calm temperament. Visitors can see them up close in a dedicated enclosure and even feed them, making the experience especially memorable. Surrounded by lush tropical plants and palm trees, the tortoises are one of the highlights of the gardens and offer an easy, rewarding wildlife encounter in the heart of Mahé.
