Mission Lodge

Mission Lodge is one of the most significant historical sites in Seychelles. The viewing spot and the adjoining ruins have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site due to their significant contribution to the eradication of slavery in the region. It has also been designated as a National Monument since 1984, in recognition of its vital role in the education of emancipated slave children throughout the 17th century. This effort by the missionaries eventually led to important contributions of the freed African slave children who formed an important part in the formation of the Creole Seychellois community of today.

Once you reach this 405-meter-high viewpoint on the island's southern part, you can see the beautiful green mountains and the azure water that surrounds it. The road leading to it may be found immediately off the trek to Morne Seychellois Peak, Mahe's highest peak. There is a gazebo where you can take in spectacular views all around and also visit the ruins of a missionary school for slave children nearby.
