October
October is an excellent month to visit Seychelles, with generally dry and calm weather
conditions. Elsewhere, this is the month when high season crowds arrive although you
may find bargains early in the month.
Festival Kreol
Late October is when Creole culture comes to the fore. On predominantly Creole Rodrig-
ues, there's the three-day Festival Kréol, while Seychelles dedicates a week to the outpour-
ing of Creole cuisine, theatre, art, music and dance for its own Festival Kreol. Réunion also
gets into the spirit with its Semaine Créole. (

Divali
Both Réunion and Mauritius mark the Tamil festival of light Divali (Dipvali), in late Octo-
ber or early November. It celebrates the victory of Rama over the evil deity Ravana and to
mark this joyous event, countless candles and lamps are lit to show Rama the way home
from his period of exile. (
