We are leaving Seychelles already as this is the end of our trip.

We have collected our passport No story...

we learnt to swim in 2 days as it's pointless going to the beach without swimming ( pointless to us ) . I can now swim without drowning and also move small

@googledrive12 also don't be discouraged by our experience as the only thing that spoilt Seychelles experience is the immigration if you can pass through that you are good. Seychelles is a very nice place for holiday and vacation you will definitely enjoy your stay here without a doubt...
the weather this time is hotter than Nigeria which is unexpected from me giving the fact that they are literally in the middle of the ocean.

it's expensive but it's worth it .. the people are very very nice and always ready to help. make sure you go to LA DIGUE for the smoothie, the best in Seychelles

Googledrive12:
Op well done ! I feel very sad about your experience at the port of entry because I and my fiancée have bought tickets for a trip to Seychelles , that is why I came on Nairaland to see if there is a thread about journey to Seychelles and luckily I found this information .. I just want to know if any other document is required except our passports .. though she will come from Germany I will travel alone from hear because it will be a waste of Money for her to come home first before we leave for Seychelles . I hope you fill me inn with more information on your experience there, both positive and negetive for it will be really appreciated . To look forward to your replay . Thanks.

to avoid our experience

1. make sure you have 150$ per day for times the duration of your stay

2. book hotel and make sure you both have copies

3. let them know your wife will be joining you from germany ( they might want to check your phone for proof )

4. book tour package


married couple ( or finace/fiancée ) don't normally have issues but since you guys wont be travelling together .. I am not sure what your experience is going to be ..

you know people experience tend to differ, you might get there and they will even be tired to query you


make sure you hold 1000$ cash I repeat and make sure you have money in your visa card …. so if they ask how much is with you just tell them the cash with you and your visa card


you don't necessarily need to have cash in your hand but it's not worth the stress to not have cash at hand

we left La Digue for PRASLIN....

for people coming here for tourism when booking accommodation make sure you are booking in MAHE, don't make the mistake of booking in Praslin or La Digue because you won't you enjoy your stay. so make sure to take note of that as it's very important.

when went on excursion to Praslin and to be sincere there is nothing really to look forward to in that place, the only good thing about Praslin is the beach.. ever since I have been going to beaches Praslin beach is the best I have been in the waves and the cleanliness wow.

there is a hotel in Praslin about 30 buildings, the whole buildings are built by Emirate Airline, it's one of the few 5 star hotel in the whole seychelles. I heard Eden island was also built by Dubai government when they came to work.

we are back home now and there is nothing much to do again, we are using today to rest against tomorrow when we will be departing to my country.

so some guys have been messaging me about going to work in Seychelles. why in the world would you even think about working in a place where the population is less than 100,000 and the main source of income is tourism, I mean how pessimistic must you have been for you to think about '' hustling'' in Seychelles.

except you want to work in resort or hotel bartender whatever don't even think about it, the only thing you are coming here to do is to spend money, Seychelles is crazily expensive and if you are eating out 200$ won't be enough per day if you are eating 3 times daily I am not exaggerating at all.
Dubai is much more cheaper than Seychelles in all ramification. again don't come to Seychelles with that mindset.

yes people dey work here and you might be lucky, so if you want to plan your life based on ''being lucky'' then I wish you the best in your journey.

it will take you 2 hours on boat from MAHE to La Digue while it takes you 15 minute from la digue to Praslin Island

formal colonial house

Ladique

La digue

so we went to la digue island yesterday for excursion where the colonial master used to live and their formal president, there is really nothing much to show apart from their history and their cultural heritage.

after all that we left the excursion and headed to La Digue beach where we met the Black Seychelles citizen. Seychelles race set up is just like south Africa too, the difference is their black is much more isolated and you will only find higher percentage of them in Ladigue island. the island is Rural and you won't find many modern building there like MAHE ( capital ).

immediately we left the excursion we saw a ( black ) woman who quickly recognised us as Nigerians, we asked how she knew she said she just knew because she has mingle with some Nigerians and our face look Nigerian. that's a wild guess mehn, we didn't even talk through out the excursion or walking.


WE met another guy who is mad with Nigerian music but doesn't know those artist are from Nigeria, the guy said most of them in Ladigue island are madly in love with artist like TEKNO, WIZKID, DAVIDO, P-SQUARE , burna boy . he said burna boy is his favourite artist.

THE MOST SHOCKING IS HE THINKS ALL THESE ARTIST ARE NOT FROM NIGERIA, he said the only Nigerian artist he knows is Mr Eazi . he said with authority that burna boy is from Kenya and wizkid is from Kenya.

we sha educate him small.

he took us to the DJ near the beach where we ordered for smoothie and the DJ played Nigerian music for us, we danced small and all the tourist started dancing to Wizkid totori then he played burna boy YE.

we left La digue for PRASLIN another island



I tell you these people have different idea of Africa and Nigeria as a country, one citizen even told us she only know Nigerians to come and work not for tourism or vacation while some certain citizen think south Africa is the only country in the whole Africa I kid you not.
a lot of experience I have forgotten !!

We are in ladique island touring this island first before Praslin, the tour guide is teaching us how to peel coconut , the rest are doing "wow wow wow"

I was just looking, something we do for fun in village

2 hours journey on water

Morning 5:30Am

internet has gave people a lot of voice. someone who would be a PREY offline is now PREDATOR online just because he/she has access to few usd data.
someone who on a normal day will run to mummy when you shout at him/her will be forming bruce lee online.

if I see that you are not worth my time, I will never quote you thereby giving you the attention you so much crave for. that's why I don't quote anybody.
even though I practise somethings offline I try as much as possible to stay away from it online because it will always ends in insult.

politics, Religion, Ethnicity, tribal war I stay far away from the argument online.

even though I practise politics offline, I try not to engage people online, not everyone is reasonable and can be reason with. online is a place where you learn but some see it as where to win argument like trophy. I believe everyone should get involve in politics and know more about the country you are living but don't become a nuisance with it.

I also the best religion is the one you are born in ( or the one you converted to shikenah )

I believe the best tribe in the world is your tribe and best race is black, white or Caucasian ( or whatever it is you are )

I just sit down now dey relax for living room and this bird enter for window

it's still childish to bring that kind of stuff into football argument, it's entertainment

Branzy:
Sorry pops there is no coming back from that upper cut

if anything it shows bro dayo was winning the argument that's why that question was brought in, but its KARMA for uncle so i'm enoying It..

at all at all na him bad

temi4fash:
Oh thanks.

A friend has a trip to Burundi later in the week and he is using Ethiopian airlines. Layover is about 14 hrs..

Any ideas about check in.. Can he online check in. Said something about checking in ending 3 hours to time of flight.

Can you shed some light in that??

Don't really know about that

Currency

temi4fash:
During the stop over at Addis Ababa, where you give a visa before you could go in. Since you said you were given an hotel.

Since we used Ethiopian airline they won't stamp you, they only check your passport and check you in, same when checking out. As long as its Ethiopian airline. And if your lay over is more than 9 hours they give you hotel

Just got back from pool few hours ago
