At Tulambule Uganda Safaris, we craft extraordinary travel experiences across East Africa and beyond — and this 8-day Seychelles tropical island holiday is one of the most breathtaking international packages we offer.

Whether you are combining this with a Uganda safari or travelling purely for the island experience, this is a holiday that will stay with you forever.

Day 1: Arrive in Seychelles — Mahe Island
Welcome to the start of your 8-day Seychelles tropical island holiday. On arrival at Mahe International Airport, our Tulambule representative will be there to welcome you and transfer you to your hotel at the stunning Eden Island — a beautiful modern marina destination with world-class facilities.

Enjoy a brief guided tour of this tiny island paradise before heading back to Mahe. Spend the late afternoon relaxing at Eden Island before dinner and overnight.
Day 3: Ferry to Praslin Island
Praslin Island: The Heart of Your Seychelles Holiday
This morning after breakfast, check out and transfer to the inter-island quay at the harbour for your ferry crossing to Praslin Island — approximately one hour across open ocean.

La Digue Island: Beaches, Tortoises and the Coco-de-Mer

This reserve is also the last refuge of the rare and endangered black parrot. At 10.45 am, transfer to Baie Ste Anne Jetty for a short 20-minute ferry crossing to La Digue Island.
Collect your bicycles for a discovery cycling tour around the island, visiting the historic L'Union Estate with its giant tortoises, granite boulders, and the world-renowned Anse Source d'Argent beach. Return to Praslin on the 4.30 pm ferry and transfer to your hotel for dinner and overnight.
