Reportage Seychelles 
A Silhouette can be reached only by helicopter, that's what you say at the time of booking. But when lying on the beach, in front of your bungalow, one of only twelve bungalows on the island, you'll see a merchant vessel to stop in front of the reef and then landed people on one of the few boats on the island, you will understand that it is not .
Mervelles and his sisters came to Silhouette way, by boat from Mahe to visit her grandmother who still lives on the island, while they have left the island to be with their small parents, to live in Mahé.
Silhouette, the third largest island of the Seychelles, is home to only 130 inhabitants, only one resort with 12 bungalows and a South African zoologist.
The Silhouette Island Lodge has been run for years by Mrs. Ornella that will make you feel at home: fresh fish and delicious recipes every day, so many stories on the island and its guests, so much care in helping you fill your days proposing the mountain trekking, boat trips, diving, offshore fishing, or just a walk to see the herd of giant tortoises of the zoologist, who will explain everything about his plan.
Professor Gerlach South Africa, studied at Oxford and Silhouette moved to deal with the breeding project of a species of giant tortoises that were believed extinct. Go find it, will tell you all about his project, will tell you about the turtles born under his care and show you the eggs hatch and are ready and create a new cycle ... You'll be amazed!
The low density of the island is also given by its shape: a large mountain in the center surrounded by beaches and coves where you log on with a more or less difficult trek through the dense vegetation, or more quickly by sea leaving by boat from the village .
The village offers the essentials: a school, an infirmary, a supermarket open two days a week and accessible only to the inhabitants of the island ......... and here its magical!
The alternate activities to sweet to do anything on the beautiful beach white front of the resort is an excellent solution.
And so it may happen to know the girls full of life and curiosity, as it happened to me, that I knew Marvelles Silhouette and her sisters, and funny moments I spent with them certainly particular: the racing on the sands of sporty Nelly, collecting shells Tahiry, poses in front of goal Samilla, perfect model, and long chats with Marvelles trying to retrace his mind and geography books to discover new worlds beyond the ocean!
Today they are building a hotel largest island, with 118 bungalows, and a few years we plunge back in the enchantment and charm of Silhouette.

The main courses are run through with spears flat: it is easy to see an elephant that runs through "the road" while speeding on the canals, more dangerous to be close to a hippo . 
In the quiet of the sunset you may well find the fishermen, smiling, little else until we walk through the lower branches of this river in the desert .. 
... and if you want to keep on dreaming after sunset, enjoy a fabulous lodge in the middle of the Delta where, sleeping in luxurious tented camps, dine by candlelight, silver cutlery and crystal glasses ..
