Seychelles flag flies proudly on Mount Kilimanjaro |23 August 2016

Seychellois mountaineer Allen Bonnelame continues to reach new heights and on each climb he flies the Seychelles national flag proudly.

Mr Bonnelame had already made it to the peak of Mont Blanc in France, before he climbed Mount Kala Pathar of Nepal. On August 19, 2016 he made it to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania before posing with the Seychelles flag at the top.

“Our tourism ambassadors continue to go the extra mile for our country. Flying our flag, defending our country or simply just being ourselves, the peace loving friendly people that we are keeps the word Seychelles being spoken about in the four corners of the world. Today it is with pride that we congratulate one of our very own as he succeeded in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro of Tanzania. This is an achievement and we are proud of you,” said Alain St Ange, the Minister for Tourism and Culture, as he wrote to Mr Bonnelame to congratulate him on his latest climb.
