Morne Seychellois, Mountain summit at Mahe Island, Seychelles.

Morne Seychellois rises to 905 m on Mahé, the highest point in Seychelles, and forms the centre of the Morne Seychellois National Park, which covers 3,045 ha and was established in 1979. Its slopes are clad in tropical rainforest, and the capital Victoria lies about two kilometres to the north-east.

Morne Seychellois National Park was created in 1979, covering 3,045 hectares around the mountain, which forms its centre. The park is the largest in Seychelles and protects the tropical rainforest that covers the slopes up to the 905-metre summit. Victoria lies about two kilometres to the north-east of the peak.

The mountain sits at the centre of Morne Seychellois National Park, created in 1979 and covering 3,045 hectares, the largest national park in Seychelles. The park takes its name from the peak, and the surrounding rainforest on Mahé is protected within it. Victoria, the capital, lies about two kilometres to the north-east of the summit.

The summit lies within Morne Seychellois National Park, a 3,045-hectare reserve created in 1979 that covers much of northern Mahé. Trails climb through tropical rainforest, so expect humid, slippery ground after rain. Start early in the day, carry water, and stay on marked paths; the park is protected land and the forest around the route is its main feature.

The summit area hosts several bird species found nowhere else in the world, including a tiny rare owl species. These wooded slopes serve as a critical refuge for species that have vanished from elsewhere in the region.
