Seychelles consists of over ninety small islands in the Indian Ocean, the main islands laying between 4 and 5 degrees south of the Equator. The islands are about 1,300km from the coast of East Africa.
Most of the islands are low-lying coralline islands, but the largest, Mahé, has granite hills rising to over 900m.

- Wet – it might be hot, but it also rains a lot, especially from December to February (see the weather page)
