Travelers to the Seychelles now must complete a Travel Authorization Form, which can be found here: https://seychelles.govtas.com/ no more than 10 days and no less than 48 hours prior to departure. There is also a new environmental levy charged at all hotels – the amount commensurate with the hotel's size (equivalent of $2-$8 US Dollars per person, per night), payable by credit card.

Drones: Just a reminder that drones are not permitted in any of the national parks in southern or East Africa. In fact, drones will be confiscated at the airport upon arrival into Kenya or Tanzania.
