This video has been very helpful! I always wanted to go to Seychelles but perhaps I will check out Zanzibar instead because I wanted to experience my people's culture. I'm not looking to vacation in Europe like places, respectfully. 👀
Lamu island in Kenya is also great. When I'm in Africa, I need to feel/see what the majority of Africa looks like.
We need to claim our Island back
Karibu Zanzibar
Exactly!
@@frmtheBkstore Zanzibar is way more beautiful than Lamu I have been to both places.
Tayo... you need to always reveal the name of the hotels, services or establishments that give crappy and bad service anywhere you go.... this will help the rest of us avoid such places and it will shame them and make them improve their services. Thanks for bringing us this information and videos.
I put the name of the first hotel there 😅. Coral Strands .
I agree 100% ..
Sometimes they treat you bad because they think you wont be spending money at the hotel which is bad i mean really bad
Shame? Well damn that was a bit cruel
It's very necessary.
I’m big on supporting locals so I stayed at Daniella’s Bungalow in Mahe, a locally operated guest house. The host, Daniella, is amazing, the place is straight across the beach and on the local bus route which makes getting around the island convenient. She also makes amazing breakfast!
Can u pls post a link to reach her? Thanks.
@@Kitmus73 kindly share her details. We are planning an anniversary getaway.
@@lynettemokgano9009 I'm asking for details too from the original poster. I don't know this person. I'm Kitmus73.
@@Kitmus73 please accept my apology
THIS IS GOOD TO KNOW,,WHY FOCUS ON THE BAD??,,GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THE GOOD,,,,
It is crazy how much this felt like a Caribbean country. The architecture, the beaches, the social problems (colourism)
every where those yt dogs went,they brought their disease of colorism
I legit thought to myself that it reminded me of a mix of allll the Caribbean islands in one, well maybe not all but quite a few lolol. I'm Trini and felt like this could easily be Trinidad and I thought of all the other islands as well and yes as you mentioned the colourism is quite reminiscent as well.

Come on guys let's take tayo to 1 million I have been with him since 26k and he keeps making me love nigeria and Africa more
Am watching from Saint Lucia 🇱🇨 and Seychelles looks so much like the island i reside also they speak creole here in Saint Lucia
Eh eh!…hello from England
Owning your own narrative, Africa is an amazing continent. Great content
Damnnnnnn I might find myself in Seychelles this weekend after watching this episode
Waka waka
Visit Tahiti,the island of sexual freedom as it is called
Eti s3n? we would welcome you
please go and enlighten people. I even became more prouder of my country Kenya.
who ever said "you will never know until you go" should take 4 bottles of Takamaka ill pay.
very nice place,i know @wode maya never dissapoint too
Seychelles is absolutely beautiful. We have visited over the past 40 years and watched it become a sort after exclusive resort but although I can’t afford to visit any more I think it is worth every penny in you can 💜
what of Ghana?
Happy belated birthday to you, Tayo. Many happy returns of the day, in sound health, in wealth and in joy and happiness. Cheers to many many years ahead!
Wow! Very beautiful place.
Thanks for bringing us along and sharing your experience Tayo.
More Blessings 💕💕💕
This is the kind of content we signed up for. Thanks for sharing your objective views.
Perfect! Now I can plan my trip to Zanzibar with no hesitation. Seychelles was on my list for 2022 but I’ll postpone it for now.
Come to Zanzibar around early February for Sauti za Busara festival
Prepare to be disappointed in Zanzibar.
This video is really expensive sometimes I wonder how he funds this videos for our entertainment and just for us to see, guys let's do what we can to support him by watching ad's. But still, great videos always a banger!
Thanks bro! Appreciate you
I dnt have ads, so just paying the $10per month for CZcams may be helpful
Thanks for the great vid @Tayo ... I have fond memories of the Seychelles as my wife and I went there for our honeymoon almost a decade ago ... I have never seen another island so beautiful like the Seychelles ... Our host family was just amazing and we have kept in touch to this day (Check Au Fond De Mer View Self Catering Apartment in Anse Royale) ... The warmth and culture of the Seychellois people will never leave my memory ... I look forward to going back with the kids sometimes in the near future :-)
Crazy! Yesterday I was researching vacation spots and I was considering Seychelles for my mom's birthday now I think Zanzibar would be best. Thanks for the Video
Thank you so much for making this video. As a Seychellois studyin to work in the tourism industry, i completely agree about the service and the treatment not being good enough. And i think this video should be seen by the people that is doing their best at continuing to build our tourism industry so they can have a better idea of what maybe could be their next step. We should be sharing ourselves with our fellow africans and let them know that they are also welcomed, not just european and asian countries.
I'm Jamaican and I'm looking forward to visiting
@@sofiaairbnbja , don't. These Black people clearly don't like other Black people. Why would you go there and spend your money there?
@@jamdawgutube you have a point
@@jamdawgutube im from Seychelles and I want more black people to visit.
Honestly, this video is a misrepresentation of the rest of us who are actually woke and know a thing or two about black solidarity.
@@FS-bi8fk , hey, thanks for your response.
I really hate how if a country is “not black enough” or “too advanced” or “too exotic” it’s seen as not part of Africa even though geographically they are part of the continent. Such as countries like Egypt, Seychelles, Mauritius, Cape Verde etc.
It’s so annoying because Africa is such a diverse continent but non-Africans perpetuate this monolithic image of “What Africa is” , So when there are countries that are different from what Africa is perceived like they are subconsciously dissociated from the rest of the continent.
*ETA*: Oh my goodness! Some of you have completely missed the point so let me clarify. I am not trying to claim Arabs, white South Africans and Indians as Africans! What I’m saying is that as long as a country is geographically part of the African continent it IS AN AFRICAN COUNTRY! Whether the people that inhabit there identify as African or not. Egypt is a country in the North of Africa. Seychelles is a country right off the coast of East Africa. Cape Verde is a country right off the coast of West Africa! So Africans and those of African descent explore the beautiful continent of Africa and all of its diversity (the islands, the deserts in North and Southern Africa etc. ) . Don’t let the locals or the muzungus make you feel like you shouldn’t be there.
Seychelles and Cape Verde are very much part of "Africa". They are mixed, but retain a lot of similarities with the rest of the continent. Mauritius (excluding the creole island of Rodrigues) and lower Egypt have very little to do with the rest of Africa and should be considered fundamentally different places more similar to the Middle East and India. I don't know why some people use geography to water down the shared identity of equatorial Africa. People are not a landmass. People are shared history, genetics and culture. That's why Europeans don't call themselves "Eurasians" because they share a landmass with Asia. Unlike you, they value their unique identity.
@@WillieFungo Africa is a continent. There are other people from other parts of the world who made USA their home and are called Americans. It is the identity not the culture that make up a continent. I disagree with your point. It is basic and perpetuates the very idea these parts of the continent people hold about themselves.
This place is in Africa, but it is COLONIZED! Not sure why it’s soo hard for you to understand that. 🤦🏾♂️
@@youme1414 If you were proud to be an African, you wouldn't be desperate to share that identity with Egyptian Arabs and Mauritian Indians. Your problem is lack of pride.
I was thinking the same thing! I'm from the USA but I'm more familiar with the northern African countries because of the travel channels that I watch. I think Tayo would be culture shocked if he stepped in most of the northern African countries where often the majority of the population are not black. I enjoyed the video but I found that part a little off putting.
From a fellow seychelleoise I'm very sorry for the way you were treated here.It is nothing new from my people especially when it comes to African tourists it's not the first time people complain about racism here and i feel ashamed for some of our ignorant peope here.I agree with you and i have seen many Africans and Indian expats being mistreated by locals and even black ones.Im glad you showed it how it was and you shared your experience as a black tourist.And about the cost of living seychelles is very expensive even for us the locals.Prices are over exaggerated here.But i feel next time you visit seychelles you should get a better guide who can show you around and help you get better cultural experience for affordable prices
Thank you for your objective review!!
My fatther hails from the seychelles, but never taught me the language...creole cest une belle langue.
Im from Seychelles aswell and i agree with what you said ✔️💯
Hi new girl
How are you?
Can u give me your contact? Am visiting the Island 🏝 this December
I'm a Seychellois and i totally agree on what you're saying. On behath of my people i trully apologize for our ignorance. We are all people and should be treated fairly and equally.
Seychelles is absolutely beautiful! I don't mind going there to settle. Nice vlog, Tayo.
I agree with everything you said! I just came back from Seychelles not too long ago and said similar things on my vlog and people said to come check yours out. The Europeans gave us all kinds of attitude and dirty looks, the service from the hotel was mediocre, food was OK & it's VERY expensive! It's a beautiful country nonetheless. Would I go back? Probably not, but I'm happy that I crossed it off my bucket list. Great Video Tayo!
Why were the European giving attitude?
@@diamonddre4626 Because they're arrogant.
@@chigasaki06 Europeans think they own the World . Look at them here in south Africa they're only 10% but control 80% (economy) 75% ( Land). This can not go on . ANC must FALL .
@@chigasaki06 sounds about right. Self entitled.
The Europeans probably still think they run the island. Because they are given preferential treatment when they visit there.
Always bringing so much adventure!
Tayo's video just makes my day better
Thanks for your detailed videos about beautiful places I've always loved to explore.
It's paradise,
I have spent 10 days in different islands
I loved every bit of my stay.
From 🇪🇹
Finally the video I've been waiting for. Been thinking of going to either Seychelles or Cape Verde next year. Already watched your Cape Verde video and was hoping you could do Seychelles as well in order to compare.
Thankfully, this video did justice to it for me
Wonderful and beautiful video Tayo, greetings and love always from the Netherlands.
very well done, was there 10yrs ago and your video bought back great memories
Thanks a lot for this comprehensive video. I’d still love to visit, but definitely happy to be aware of some of the things you have highlighted now
Time for a hanging out with the locals in Seychelles video. The landscape is beautiful.
Thanks for another great educational video. The country look beautiful from this video. From what I know about Seychelles they have one of the best education systems in Africa. As well they have great HDI and ofcourse tourism is important for their economy.
What I always love about your travel video is the HIGH LEVEL of details you provide. Your story telling is extraordinary. Well done and keep up the good work.
Their education system is pathetic judging from their thinking capacity.
I'd Say Kenya, Rwanda & Botswana have better education system
I am pleased to find your video... you are a real tourist/ explore. You were handed lemons, and you made lemonade...that is what traveling is all about... creating new ventures/experiences
Thanks again
bro its so important to keep the reviews honest. glad u mentioned the odd treatment. great work as usual.
I've been looking forward to this video Tayo, thanks for the honest review. Eden Island is beautifull
Wow...This is a tourist destination. A very beautiful country.
Another great video Tayo, nicely done 👏
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
I traveled to the Seychelles in the 90s such a beautiful country and beautiful people
Beautiful place, lovely people…was there this summer. Just gave me the chill seeing all the places all again through your video. I didn’t get the treatment you got. I felt I really welcomed. Perhaps I got lucky. It also felt like Trinidad & Tobago. Same vibes. I stayed at the Story hotel. Definitely, will be revisiting to explore more.
Thank you for the nice comments. Seychelles is expensive and to enjoy it you need cash. The story hotel is nice and pricy in comparison to the coral stand which is classified as a 3 stars Hotel. Coral strand is the very basic. Come here enjoy and leave your pride at home, we are down to earth. It seems that the author is looking down on the people of Seychelles and seychellois can sense it.
@@sharonvel4485 your comment makes no single sense.
He's a travel blogger, that has been to so many countries,why would he just want to bring down your country for no reason??
Thanks for sharing these videos bro we are travelling with you virtually- great work!!!!
This is a very lovely insight...thanks Tayo and rory
Tayo lot's of love and support from India ❤️💕😍
Seychelles 🇸🇨 is a very beautiful area, thanks for sharing this video, nice country! Toya, your videos are nice, thanks for doing what you do best, a big fan of you in Liberia 🇱🇷!
Awesome video! Love the honest review of the place coz I’m going there next may and I need to be prepared 😤
really cool and helpful video, thanks for sharing ...
Omg! I can't imagine booking and accommodation and later realizing it doesn't exist. That's crazy! Great video!
There are two sides to every story, he's not telling us something.
Awesome review. I think you got most things right from a tourist perspective. To get the culture you have to get on the back roads. My spouse is from Mahe. Seychelles is certainly a beautiful kaleidoscope of culture and races and food. I had some wonderful feasts and perhaps a little bit too much Takamaka infused dance sessions.. If you thought your driving was a little difficult on the road you pointed out, there are definitely some much more nerve-racking roads to get where my family lives in Bale Lazare. 😬 Thank you for your video. 👍🏿👍🏾👍🏽👍🏼👍🏻👍
Thanks for sharing your experiences it’s was really amazing viewing 🙏🏽.
Very informative , great video , thank you for this insight of the Seychelles 🏄♀
Nice one bro, I do believe is expensive BCS is another way of discouraging many people from coming BCS they can't afford to accommodate so many tourists. Over here in Europe we have similar places too. Monaco, Ibiza!
I love your honesty.
I enjoyed watching this video. This is beautiful
I really enjoyed watching it, thank you !
Beautiful lsland, beautiful views and great adventure
Whatever people say Seychelles 🇸🇨👏🏼👌🏼👏🏼 is amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
woooooow,nice video,informing
Beautiful Island! My dream vacation country.
lets visit
my island 🏝 I love it .
Do not listen to them, do your own research about the island and make your dream come true.
Thank you for your informative video . Food for thought . 😊
Just discovered your channel and This video is a gem !!! Man you did a good job ! The drone plans, the narration everything' PERFECT !!!!! Damn
I lived there for 6 months and it was the best time of my love. Seychelles always will be the love of my life. Thank for the great video, Praslin, La Digue, Cousin, Aride worth a trip too :) they are amazing smaller islands.
Can u accommodate me please
Seychelles is beautiful. But can we acknowledge the beautiful and cool lady we've seen a couple of times in Tayo's videos? I noticed her the first time in his Ethiopia travel videos. I like their chilled vibe. No pressure, Tayo. We will be here when you are ready to open up lol
🤦🏾♀️😂
@@AnnieSpecial92861 😂😂😂😂 Kaiiii. Wahala
I completely agree.......we don Mark her name down 😜✍️
@@TayoAinaFilms what hotel would you recommend
This video was so helpful thank you Tayo
Great video Awesome Chanel! Thanks for visiting our islands 👍
I enjoyed watching this video and as a seychellois I agree that the cost of living is very high for both tourists and locals, the only difference that we're used to it so I can imagine how shocking it is for foreigners especially the differences in quality and value for your money. I apologize that you had to experience Coral Strand, a hotel that even locals tend to avoid because of the crappy service and it's sad to admit that crappy service is a constant thing in Seychelles 🙃 But I hope that despite the fact that its very expensive here, that you were able to enjoy your time here at least 😊
Now this . He said he wanted to leave as soon as he arrived , meaning he regretted setting his foot there . The racism . The inferiority complex was not bearable .
@@lekholokoelekotsoanamoloi9593 inferiority complex? If I understand you, literally saying Seychelles is better than Nigeria?
@@tobikayjaykay9791 No my brother , it is the people of Seychelles who have self hatred . I realized they prefer white people over Africans
@@lekholokoelekotsoanamoloi9593 sorry sir Seychelles we are not racism 😠 ok we are a friendly people you don't not anything 🤫.
Fennella this is wonderful what you have said about home. We each have a few things about our hometowns that can be improved but I would wish that we could all do a bit more research when we are traveling to smaller nations. Simply because options are few in each tax/hotel bracket when you don’t research enough. Travel is expensive so like in real estate people say, location, location, location….travel is: research, research, research or verify, verify, verify.🤗
Seychelles really looks beautiful..Africa is beautiful.
Just Loved this ... ❤❤❤
Great Docu 👏👏👏👏
such behavior from the first hotel will spoil my mood throughout my holiday experience. Am glad I watched this video because it made my decision easy. Zanzibar here I come!
I can’t wait to visit !!
I’ve been researching this island for years and it looks amazing. Very expensive to become a resident though. I don’t think they want it to be over crowded which is a good thing. Very low key!
Wow, I’m sold. This place is absolutely gorgeous 🥰
Thanks Bro.Awesome video
Thank you very much for this, it is one country I was really planning to go to because of it's beauty but watching this am not sure is worth it.
God gave the dark skinned people of the world the best looking places. May we continue to take great care of it.
Agree, but look who fighting us for it.
@@claudiefurgus3981 Very true. But one step forward is better than no step at all,
Really? Did God? If I remember correctly most of the islands were 'jail' for the slaves. Kidnapped with no hope of returning back. Just like Jamaica, Dominican Island, Barbados including Seychelles and many more were slave islands. believe me that none of our ancestors happily volunteer to go there
Many commentators here does not understood him, in years to come you will understand.👂
Isn't that just the truth!
Excellent vid and info. Nice one brah
Amazing content. Knowing that I became a subscriber from when you had 340 subscribers to you having hundred times of that is commendable.
I am glad to see you grow man. And I have heard good stuffs about you. Keep been good bruv. From a fan. 🙌
Their roads really look good and quality
A friend, a Holiday operator invites me for a holiday in Seychelles but now I've changed me mind to Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria.
Excellent video. I appreciate your honesty.
it was very helpful contents thank you bruv
I visited Seychelles from Nigeria in 2018 and stayed at Mahe but also spent time at La Digue and Praslin. It was lovely but I totally relate to this video. I felt a bit unwelcome starting from the Airport. I was especially upset when the black seychellois Immigration officer allowed everyone to pass through but stopped my new bride's bag to have it searched, without any good explanation. Not the best way to start a honeymoon. However, our rented villa and hosts were lovely and very accomodating. By day 2, ee ditched the exorbitant taxis and paid pennies for buses which allowed us to experience the real Seychelles
Beautiful place. I've heard of Seychelles before. I didn't know it was part of Africa. Nice video! 😊🤗😊🤗
Is is not..
@@elsadegeus7772 say a NOBODY!
ASK a Seychellois if it is part of Afrika..they will say NO
I stayed on the Seychelles, Praslin Island for one week. Beautiful. I enjoyed it very much. Went to the Constance Lemuria resort. Highly recommended!
I fell in love in the Seychelles. Had an amazing time .
Wow Seychelles is so beautiful, talking about the people Africa is a diverse continent, don't expect to see dark or black skin everywhere you go, they are mix, Arab, nd others Africa people too.
Great video I would love to visit these places ❤❤❤😊
Beautiful island in Africa watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭❤
I've always wanted to visit Seychelles... Nice video
Nice one thank you!
Can't wait to visit. The locals look lovely. A client lives there and he and his family are very happy. No complaints about the people or anything else but mentioned it's very expensive. Other than that - it's their home now. 😊
Currently in Seychelles and staying Carana beach hotel and it is AMAZINGGG!!!! Going to check out the botanical garden tomorrow hahaha
Haha. its a Nice spot!
Wow they really want you to know how mixed they are: "yo we're mixed, w'ere mixed, did I mention we're mixed"
oooook.
Is that supposed to be rare?
Man I really love how you are showcasing Africa
Thanks for the update on Seychelles
Hi Tayo, I‘m from Switzerland and I had a similar impression like you when I travelled to the Seychelles. It’s quite on the expensive side and you pay a lot for little service at times. The nature is amazing and I really like how much Seychellois are taking care of the environment. Two corrections to add: The market in Victoria is not only a tourist market. Seychellois actually buy their groceries from there. And the beach at Carana is not private. There’s an entrance on the side of the road - it’s a bit hidden tough.
I'm from Seychelles and I went to Geneva in Switzerland in October, the prices there compared to here were a bit similar but here is definitely expensive relative to the quality of services, and just to add, I really loved Switzerland the people were nice and the place was significantly cleaner than here, but all in all everything is going to be different wherever you go
Had an amazing time in Seychelles. Honestly, it was one of my cheapest international vacations. We spent the majority of our time in Praslin and on Eden Island and we stayed in Airbnb‘s versus hotels. While we did notice that we didn’t see a lot of other Black tourist there, we made friends with locals and had an awesome time seeing some non-touristy corners of Mahé.
Hello I’m interested in going to Praslin. I’m having trouble trying to get the logistics down of how to get there from the United States. Any information would be great! Thanks.
@@TiffanyEmotions Delta/Air France flies into Mahè as well as Emirates. You’ll have to connect in Paris or Dubai. Then take the ferry to Praslin.
You did Seychelles the correct way
Had it crossed your mind that the overwhelming majority of tourists to the Seychelles being white has anything to do with the average black person/family being hugely poorer than Caucasians?
Cheapest 🤔🤔
I am now hearing about this island 🏝. Nice 👍
Nice video, lightening, audio. Nice job
Seychelles looks so beautiful, but I personally prefer the vibes in Zanzibar.
@@agnessez7437 Stop the lies
It’s interesting that the guy didn’t mentioned Africa to be part of the mixture of the race while most of them are quite dark
My thoughts as well.
It was only his opinion. Not everyone in seychelles has the same mentality as he does
I was thinking the same thing. They deny their black heritage then 1000 years later they say black people never lived there (cough cough, north Africa, cough).
@@jzk2020 Not they* him😀
My thoughts as well, I will never set foot in such country.
Thanks for honest review. I’m in USA and will try the closer destinations like Belize, St Lucia etc
