Mahe is the largest of 45 islands that make up the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. It gained its independence in 1976 after being a British colony since 1814. With a backdrop of granite peaks, Mahe is a treasure trove of flora that has evolved over centuries of isolation. Rare species of plants such as the Jellyfish Tree and the Seychelles Pitcher Plant, (a carnivorous plant) are only found here. A casual tour around the island by car will take about 2.5 hours where you can find places of casual interest and other attractions.
