Trying to Get From East Africa to the Seychelles

I'll be in Tanzania with friends and was going to spend a few days at the
end of a safari on Zanzibar. One participant has asked that we consider a
few days to a week on the Seychelles instead. However, I can't find if
there are any connections from Nairobi or Dar Es Salaam. Any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance

Your questions about your trip have sometimes focused on costs.
The Seychelles - as beautiful as they are - are quite expensive,
with few of the budget options available on Zanzibar. Google
for rates, maybe go to Travel Advisor, and see what you can learn.

I hit the usual web sites, Orbitz, Cheap Tickets, just to get an idea of
flight costs but they won't even recognize the Mahe airport code. I did get
an idea from the Kenya Airways site.

I figured the Seychelles would be expensive and frankly it's probably worth
a separate trip due to the cost/hassle factor. So many places, so little
time (and money).

Thanks all

It depends on your particular itinerary.
On my first safari, we had a week in the Seychelles at the end.
Because we flew KA from London, it seemed that pricing-wise the safari
counted as a stopover. It also helped that the company I used (check
my site or email me if you want to know: some people here can be
touchy about naming specific companies) is good in the bangs-for-bucks
stakes. But with the pound being strong against the dollar, it may not
be good for you if you're travelling from the States.
