The Dry Season
April to early May – October to early November
These are excellent months to visit the Seychelles, characterised by warm, sunny days and little wind. The waters of the Indian Ocean are calm and visibility is at its best.
The Seychelles is a spellbinding island escape famed for its natural beauty and exclusivity. A honeymoon here offers the ultimate escape, combining romantic seclusion with breathtaking landscapes.
The Seychelles islands are a mix of white sandy beaches, water-smoothed boulders, coco de mer palms and tropical vegetation frequented by colourful birdlife – including the endemic black parrot. Seychelles diving is excellent and the crystal clear waves that lap the shores of these islands hide brilliant coral reefs and abundant marine life. Start planning your Seychelles beach escape for 2026-2027.
Dotted in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles islands number a little over 100. On Praslin Island, you will find the ancient forest of coco der mer palms, a UNESCO heritage site named Vallée de Mai. Mahé is the largest island and pairs a vibrant Creole culture with the tropical vegetation of Morne Seychelles National Park. La Digue, the third largest and quieter island has the famous Anse Source d’Argent beach and plenty of authentic boutique stays to choose from. Finally, there is North Island, this private escape offers a truly luxurious and exclusive chance to disconnect and reconnect in one of the most beautiful places imaginable.
The Seychelles is where you will find not only a vibrant underwater world – but also Bird Island, where one can witness hundreds of thousands of sooty terns and other species, or, the chance to explore Aldabra Atoll and visit the largest population of giant tortoises on the planet.

What Our Clients Say
“My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful holiday in Zanzibar with The Safari Edit. The team planned everything exactly as we requested, a mix of culture and sightseeing in Stone Town, followed by complete relaxation on the beach. Everything was taken care of, so we didn’t have to worry about connections, flights or transfers. The hotels that Alex suggested were spot on for our needs and he really took into account things that mattered to us, like stair-free properties and accessible old town tours. All in all, fantastic service and a wonderful trip. We can’t wait to book again.”

What Our Clients Say
“We had a fantastic family holiday to South Africa thanks to The Safari Edit. We love to travel, but, with busy lives, we find it hard to make time to plan big holidays. Alex really knows how to put together a trip of a lifetime. We spent one hour discussing with him what we hoped to experience on our family holiday. Alex then created an outstanding bespoke itinerary. There were so many highlights, including a visit to a local rhino conservation project, exploring the Western Cape, and a “Big 5″ marine safari. We are already planning our next African adventure with The Safari Edit.”

What Our Clients Say
“I cannot recommend The Safari Edit highly enough! They organised the most magical, once-in-a-lifetime trip to South Africa for us at the start of the year, and it truly was the best trip we have ever been on. Every single detail was perfectly curated, from the hotels and transfers to the experiences and recommendations. A very special thank you to Alex, who was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and delivered something beyond anything we could have imagined. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will treasure forever.”
