Description

Top view of Morne Seychellois National Park, Mahé Island, Seychelles. (Taken from hotel’s room balcony)

The Morne Seychellois National Park is situated on the island of Mahe, the largest island of the Seychelles archipelago. Morne Seychellois covers an area of approximately 3,045 hectares, more than 20% of Mahe and is made up of a mixture of mangroves, lush tropical jungles and tall mountains. It is 10km in length and between 2km and 4km wide, equipped with an extensive trail network, covering more than 15km. The role of the National Park, is to protect the already fragile ecosystem by minimizing the effect of human disturbances. Morne Seychellois is home to a vast amount of indigenous flora and fauna, and of the twelve endemic land birds of the granitics, seven are to be found here. These include the Seychelles Scops-owl, one of the most elusive species of all. Its stronghold is in the Morne Seychellois National Park and it can often be heard around dusk at various locations along the Sans Souci road.

The Seychelles Kestrel, Blue Pigeon and Sunbird are common sights in the Park, which makes it perfect for bird lovers. You will always be able to spot the endemic Bulbul, the Pitcher Plant and have interesting encounters with the Seychelles Wolf Snake. (www.spga.gov.sc/parks/morne-seychellois)
