Seychelles and outer Islands
WELCOME TO BLUE SAFARI SEYCHELLES
Situated in the heart of the Indian Ocean in one of the last untouched frontiers, Blue Safari Seychelles pioneers a new style of experiential travel while actively conserving this pristine region.
Of the 72 islands and atolls that form the remote outer islands, we have selected the most enchanting four as our base.
Overlooking picture-perfect beaches, fringed by tropical foliage and with not another soul in sight, each of the Blue Safari atolls‘ lodges are wonderfully individual and completely immersed in the natural surroundings of the Outer Islands.
The heart of the operations, Alphonse Island, features a beautiful lodge and is an hours flight from Mahe. From here you access the even more remote Astove Coral House and Cosmoledo Eco-camp on the far western atolls of Astove and Cosmoledo. This is truly where nature meets sustainable hospitality.
Blue Safari Seychelles is owned by Murray Collins, Keith Rose-Innes, and Devan van der Merwe, all avid fishermen who have put their heart and soul into this exceptional experience.
The impact of your stay
Blue Safari Seychelles works together with various partners to pioneer conservation in the outer islands. Their philosophy is to promote the biome’s conservation in harmony with low impact human development and ecotourism.
Every stay contributes through:
- Paying US$ 30 per person per night to the Island Conservation Society (ICS).
- Supporting ICS ensures key aspects of the ecosystem are well maintained and cared for. Without their sound knowledge, the ecosystem on the atoll would not be what it is today.
- Getting involved with the ICS team through activities such as turtle patrol, beach clean ups, giant tortoise feeding, monitoring of sea birds and waders, monitoring manta rays and removing Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) from the ocean
- Practising sustainable fishing practices through recording fish caught for consumption and monitoring species on a catch & release basis, as well as supporting the Giant Trevally Tracking project.
- Attending the weekly ICS presentation which provides progress updates and discussion of environmental topics.
- Purchasing books, souvenirs and T-shirts from the ICS centre or the Alphonse Boutique, with the proceeds providing further financial support to the conservation efforts.
