Geography

Situated to the east of continental Africa and north of Madagascar – sitting on the equator – the remote Seychelles comprises more than 100 islands formed from granite and coral. Due to the island’s unique position and connection to the surrounding reef systems, the island group is home to 2 UNESCO World Heritage sites: Aldabra Atoll, home to 152,000 giant tortoises, and Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, the site of an almost untouched natural palm forest.

History

Evidence suggests that, until the Europeans arrived in the 18th century, the Seychelles were uninhabited by people. The first person thought to have spotted the islands is Thomé Lopes, a Portuguese explorer and scrivener who recorded the journey in his travel log. The earliest visit to the Seychelles, however, was thought to have been made by the British East India Company in 1609. The Seychelles soon became a hub for trade between Africa and Asia, which attracted pirates to the islands. The French claimed the Seychelles in 1756, giving the island group its current name, before surrendering the islands to the British in 1810. In 1976, the Seychelles achieved independence from the UK, becoming a republic.
