What to expect
Kaz Zanana is a lovely Creole-style timber house with a café and a gallery showing work by the local artist George Camille. His pieces have been exhibited since 1983 in Seychelles, London, Paris, Martinique, Mauritius and Réunion.
He works in a range of techniques, including etchings, watercolours, pencil and pastel drawings, silk painting, acrylics and relief collages. In his pictures he tries to capture the colours and spirit of Creole life. Souvenirs such as pareos are also on sale.
The house
The building dates from the early 20th century. In 1997 Camille had the old colonial house restored and opened his first gallery in Seychelles there. Today the wooden verandas, shutters and paintings make a calm contrast to the street outside. The artist has a second gallery on La Digue.
The café
The Kaz Café operates inside the house. According to its own information, it serves coffee, cake, ice cream, beer, wine and cocktails, as well as burgers and salads, including vegan and gluten-free options. The café has outdoor seating and free Wi-Fi. The menu changes, and it is also a good spot for a short break after the market in Victoria.
Getting there
By car
Directions:
From Victoria, take Revolution Avenue towards Beau Vallon. You will pass the Barrel discothèque on the right. Shortly after that, also on the right (opposite the bus stop), you will find the gallery. You can park right on the grounds.
On online maps and review sites the street is sometimes listed as Royal Street. If your navigation app does not recognise Revolution Avenue, try searching for "Kaz Zanana" or "George Camille Gallery".
By bus
The buses heading north leave from the bus terminal in Victoria opposite the Clock Tower. Both routes stop at the bus stop opposite the gallery:

|---|---|
| Route 21 | Bel Ombre |
| Route 22 | Glacis via Beau Vallon |
Buses to Glacis and Beau Vallon run frequently on weekdays. The current timetables are published by the state bus company SPTC at sptc.sc. Weekends and weekdays have separate timetables.
