Seychelles International Airport (SEZ)
SEZ to Beau Vallon: one pre-booked hotel transfer or airport taxi, about 40 minutes — the risk is arriving with no ride arranged, not the distance.

- Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
- Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
- African islands ↗Sleep on the island you fly home from the night before your long-haul departure; inter-island flights and ferries in this region are cancelled or rescheduled often enough to break a same-day connection.
- African islands ↗In the Indian Ocean islands book flexible rates for December to March: a cyclone warning can shut airports, ferries and roads for two or three days.
- Seychelles ↗Seychelles requires a travel authorisation for visitors; apply only on the official government portal and check the rules for your passport before you fly.
- Seychelles ↗Check with a travel clinic whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you are arriving from or through a country with yellow fever risk.
- Seychelles ↗Do not take shells, coral or coco de mer nuts without an export permit; the Vallée de Mai and Aldabra are protected sites.
- Victoria ↗Cover shoulders and knees in town and in churches and temples; swimwear stays on the beach.
- Victoria ↗Taxis on Mahé use fixed rates by zone; ask for the fare before the ride and carry small rupee notes.

Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Pre-book the hotel transfer; if you have none, take an airport taxi from the official rank.
- Precision
- Fixed taxi rates by zone (field-verify); a few taxis meet late flights, but confirm your pickup with your flight number.
- Late-night threshold

If it breaks
- Message the hotel your flight number and ask for a pickup; do not count on finding a taxi late at night.
- Agree the fare before you get in; carry small rupee notes or ask whether cards are accepted.
- Public buses do not run all night: if no ride is available, sleep near the airport.
