I can’t wait for February and Zegrahm’s Ultimate Seychelles with Aldabra Atoll! The nature alone will make for an incredible trip, but the history of a region that grew along such an important trade route is fascinating in its own right. With so many empires staking their claim in the region, the history is as diverse as any other...
