Jambo! Here at TheBigDay it has been a time of celebration. One of our founders, Michael Cottam, recently got engaged. Where does the guy behind all the registries, itineraries and travel packages choose to go on his honeymoon? Africa and the Seychelles. The days of roughing it on the African plains have been replaced by "the lap of luxury," where a collection of exclusive, intimate lodges await you. Hop from camp to camp on scheduled charters, sip champagne at the conclusion of a memorable hot-air balloon ride over the Maasai Mara, or spend your days exploring a wilderness area with your guide who knows over 800 elephants by sight and name. And, if that isn't enough, the Seychelles Islands will round out your ultimate safari experience with a perfect addition of a tropical paradise. Anchored 1,000 miles off the coast of East Africa, these 115 astonishingly beautiful islands lie outside the cyclone belt and enjoy stable weather year round. Sail from island to island, and witness the diversity of the Inner Island Group, whose massive granite boulders serve in stark contrast to the azure sea. Let the fine powder beaches of the Coral Group embrace you after a leisurely swim with sea turtles and large schools of tropical fish. Whether you are considering an exotic location for your destination wedding, looking for an exciting adventure walking among elephants, spotting wildlife on the African plains, or searching for the ultimate island getaway, this corner of the world offers many unique experiences.
