    I visited Seychelles from Nigeria in 2018 and stayed at Mahe but also spent time at La Digue and Praslin. It was lovely but I totally relate to this video. I felt a bit unwelcome starting from the Airport. I was especially upset when the black seychellois Immigration officer allowed everyone to pass through but stopped my new bride's bag to have it searched, without any good explanation. Not the best way to start a honeymoon. However, our rented villa and hosts were lovely and very accomodating. By day 2, ee ditched the exorbitant taxis and paid pennies for buses which allowed us to experience the real Seychelles

    I really hate how if a country is “not black enough” or “too advanced” or “too exotic” it’s seen as not part of Africa even though geographically they are part of the continent. Such as countries like Egypt, Seychelles, Mauritius, Cape Verde etc. It’s so annoying because Africa is such a diverse continent but non-Africans perpetuate this monolithic image of “What Africa is” , So when there are countries that are different from what Africa is perceived like they are subconsciously dissociated from the rest of the continent. *ETA*: Oh my goodness! Some of you have completely missed the point so let me clarify. I am not trying to claim Arabs, white South Africans and Indians as Africans! What I’m saying is that as long as a country is geographically part of the African continent it IS AN AFRICAN COUNTRY! Whether the people that inhabit there identify as African or not. Egypt is a country in the North of Africa. Seychelles is a country right off the coast of East Africa. Cape Verde is a country right off the coast of West Africa! So Africans and those of African descent explore the beautiful continent of Africa and all of its diversity (the islands, the deserts in North and Southern Africa etc. ) . Don’t let the locals or the muzungus make you feel like you shouldn’t be there.

    Seychelles and Cape Verde are very much part of "Africa". They are mixed, but retain a lot of similarities with the rest of the continent. Mauritius (excluding the creole island of Rodrigues) and lower Egypt have very little to do with the rest of Africa and should be considered fundamentally different places more similar to the Middle East and India. I don't know why some people use geography to water down the shared identity of equatorial Africa. People are not a landmass. People are shared history, genetics and culture. That's why Europeans don't call themselves "Eurasians" because they share a landmass with Asia. Unlike you, they value their unique identity.

    Had an amazing time in Seychelles. Honestly, it was one of my cheapest international vacations. We spent the majority of our time in Praslin and on Eden Island and we stayed in Airbnb‘s versus hotels. While we did notice that we didn’t see a lot of other Black tourist there, we made friends with locals and had an awesome time seeing some non-touristy corners of Mahé.

Coral strand is the very basic. Come here enjoy and leave your pride at home, we are down to earth. It seems that the author is looking down on the people of Seychelles and seychellois can sense it.

    Why there aren't more Black people from the Mainland is probably because of Europeans come with Higher purchasing power I guess and most don't know about the place. In Nigeria they don't advertise other African countries to us and we end up going to spend exorbitant prices in Europe and America. Thankfully your channel and Maya's open a lot more eyes to the beauty within our borders where we don't have to experience racism just to have a good time.

    Seychelles appears to have identity issues. For example, when the native gentleman described "Kreol", he conveniently forgot African as a part of the mixture along with Indian Asian, and European. The natives don't mention their African heritage and when this is left out, they will treat those that they view as being more African very poorly. I had this island on my bucket list however it may be removed.

    Having been to Seychelles, i can say they don't consider themselves as Africans. Asides the proximity to the continent, i think they are more Indian than African. As for the visit, they have a good vibe but expensive which is not really a bad thing. For the food, try the Beau Vallon beach as the hotel food comes out bland for an African.

    @@djb.8507 I give you a practical example. While at La Digue on the Island Hopping trip, part of the buffet served was a certain beans variety which i saw there for the first time. In order to encourage me to eat it, the lady (a Seychellois) said to me: "I know you eat that in Africa cause i have been to Africa and i ate it there too." That statement got me wondering where we were at the moment. These are valid experiences as most of your people don't easily identify as Africans which is okay. Going through every comment to nullify or argue peoples experiences isn't necessary. You can do that when it is a perception but saying people did not experience what they did is not a good fight. On a good side, the racism stuff does not exist. We discovered Beau Vallon food on day 3 of our 5 day trip and we ate there every single day till we left. Got some takeaway too. The food was irresistible. Best shrimps i ever tasted. The island is a bubbling and youthful one. The immigration staff on our departure was probably in her early 20s. Unheard of in my country Nigeria. Your Island hosted the exiled Ghanaian Kumasi royalty before he returned home. I observed the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has a branch there which says a lot about the Nigerian presence there. Also met 2 basketball players who ply their trade there. So yeah, the blacks are on ground. Just that on the tourism experience side, you have more Europeans than Africans trooping in which explains Tayo's experience. That is valid.
