Safari 4x4 - Discovery Trail (Resident)

Amongst all the great activities in Mauritius to choose from, the 4x4 safari is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the Ecotourism in Mauritius.

Sentier Goyaves is best suited for adventurous and seasoned drivers due to its steeper slopes. As you go deeper into the nature reserve, you will make contact with vast vegetation and endemic bird species such as; the Pink Pigeon, the Mauritius Black Bulbul, or the Mauritius Kestrel. The most memorable part of this route is the spectacular view over the Domaine de Bel Ombre, some 2500 hectares in the southwest of Mauritius, stretching from the mountains to the turquoise lagoon. As an additional bonus, you can take a dip into the Hirondelles Waterfall.

Once you have been through Sentiers Goyaves, set off on a fairly flat path through the sugar cane fields. Further on, drive past a fish pond towards the fascinating ruins of Heritage’s old sugar mill situated at the brink of Dalsing plains. It is home to various wild animals in Mauritius. Explorers will be mesmerized by panoramic view over the nature reserve and the coastline. Finally, only a few steps away, our bikers can take a refreshing dip in the natural rock pool of L’Exemple Waterfall, before heading back.
