Natural Attraction, Reserve/Zoo

Between the endless blue of the Indian Ocean and the emerald green endemic forests of the South, the Bel Ombre Biosphere Reserve is located, representing more than 1,300 hectares of untouched nature, unique landscapes and unique flora and fauna. It encompasses lush forests, tranquil lakes, rugged mountains and rushing waterfalls. Along the reserve's network of scenic trails, visitors can immerse themselves in its natural wonders, meeting endemic reptiles such as the Telfair skink and elusive mammals like the Mauritian flying fox. Ebony trees and rare orchids bloom here next to towering palm trees and cascading waterfalls. Bird lovers can admire the sight of colorful, rare birds. The reserve can be explored at your own discretion: night safari, trekking, trips on SUVs, ATVs, buggies, mountain bikes or trekking. Bel Ombre received the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere certificate. It is an ecological gem, preserving the island's natural heritage in its pristine splendor.
