In Mont Fleuri on the edge of Victoria you will find the Seychelles National Botanical Gardenswhich has existed for more than a century (1901) and is thus one of the oldest national monuments of the Seychelles is. On an area of 6 hectares it houses a large collection of old, exotic and endemic plants, which are cultivated in the beautifully designed tropical garden.

Next to the palm trees there are botanical gardens also a large number of spice plants and fruit trees, most of which can only be admired here. You can also see giant tortoises from Aldabra Atoll, some of which are more than 150 years old. Fruit bats that eat or sleep in the large trees can also be found.
