Plan your safari

North Island is the private-island benchmark: eleven vast driftwood-and-glass villas on a granite island rewilded over two decades — giant tortoises roaming free, hawksbill turtles nesting on the beaches, and a barefoot-luxury ethos that has hosted the world’s most photographed honeymoons.

Everything is included and nothing is scheduled: your own buggy, a dedicated villa attendant, dining wherever the mood lands, and beaches that close to everyone but you.

A note from the founders

The Seychelles’ conservation island — eleven villas, giant tortoises, the ultimate final chapter.

Why book North Island through NndeeAfrika

You never pay more than booking direct — usually less. And everything around your stay is handled.

01

A better rate, more journey

As a trade partner we access preferred rates and seasonal offers the island doesn’t always publish — you’ll never pay more than booking direct. And an island can only sell its own rooms; we build the journey around it: international flights, the right nights, and where you go next.

02

Door-to-door, no gaps

A private transfer waiting at Mahé airport, connections timed to your route, and hosts who already know your name. Book direct and the gaps become your problem; book with us and there are none.

03

We know this island personally

We know the villas, the seasons and the helicopter logistics — and how North Island crowns an East or Southern Africa safari as the journey’s final chapter.

04

One call if anything changes

A missed flight, a weather delay, a change of heart mid-trip — you contact one person, and we re-arrange everything behind the scenes. The island looks after you on property; we look after the whole journey.
