Geography of Seychelles. The Seychelles is a small island nation located in the Indian Ocean northeast of Madagascar and about 1,600 km (994 mi) east of Kenya. Seychelles lies between approximately 4ÂºS and 10ÂºS and 46ÂºE and 54ÂºE.
Report Abuse. Seychelles is off the coast of East Africa, not really part of mainland Africa. It is part of the African Union, yes, but I believe that it is misleading to tell people you are from East Africa because this is technically wrong. You live on an island OFF the coast of East Africa, not IN East Africa. When you tell people you are from the Seychelles and they want you to elaborate, just say you come from a group of islands in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Africa, that's it.
