Let us preserve our heritage……..Genuine eco-tourism means tourism that has no negative impact on eco-systems, and positively contributes to the destination on a social and environmental level
Draped on the lower slopes of towering granite mountains, and spilling into the waters of its bustling port, Victoria – the diminutive capital of the Seychelles – certainly has a setting to remember.
“Let us preserve our heritage……..Genuine eco-tourism means tourism that has no negative impact on eco-systems, and positively contributes to the destination on a social and environmental level“
But the true reward of spending time in the city of 25,000 Seychellois is the opportunity to witness the diversity of its people, to learn of the nation’s history and to embrace the Creole culture. And given Victoria’s size, this can be achieved in a day trip or two from your beach-side accommodation.
Creole culture on full display during the annual Festival Kreol
For a taste of Creole culture there is no better time to visit Victoria than in late October when the country’s biggest celebration lights up the city. Local cuisine, art, music, theatre and dance are all on full display, and thousands of Seychellois flood in from around the island of Mahé and beyond. The faces of the Seychelles – a mosaic of African, Arab, British, French and Indian heritage – stand together, groove together and smile together. This reaches its climax during the main procession through town, when dozens of clubs and communities from around the country (and elsewhere in Africa) perform and parade along the main streets. The joy and energy of all the participants is as palpable as it is contagious, with the spirit spreading through the crowds.
