Casela Nature Parks

6.7
4.8/5
296 reviews
Located on the west coast of the island of Mauritius, the park is an excellent soil that can be close to nature. There are a large number of birds, as well as rare giant tortoises and other animals in the park. Against the backdrop of African-style vegetation and scenery, it can be described as a "miniature Kenya". Walking with Lions One of the must-see experiences in Mauritius is "Walking With Lions" in the Casela Natural Park. Accompanied by professionals, you can experience the thrill of walking side by side with the king of the jungle, and even play in the streams and grasslands together to stage a live-action version of "Tarzan." Afterwards, you will be awarded a bravery certificate as a souvenir. Four-wheel drive You can also choose to rent a four-wheel drive or a more maneuverable two-wheel Segaway to travel freely through the lush tropical forests, waiting for unexpected encounters with zebras, tortoises and ostriches. A more exciting experience is the ropeway gliding project through the valley in the park. You will experience a wonderful journey like a bird soaring in the sky in the gliding distance of hundreds of meters. In addition, the park has free parking lots, restaurants, grocery stores, 4D cinemas, souvenir shops and other service facilities for tourists' leisure and entertainment needs. The park is very large and rich in content. If you want to play it all, it will take at least half a day.Mauritius · 6 km from Tamarin

Trou Aux Cerfs Volcano

4.7
4.3/5

Mauritius is an island formed by volcanic eruptions, and the Trou Aux Cerfs Volcano on the central plateau sits on a dormant volcano with a conical crater. It is one of Mauritius's most iconic attractions and the origin of the island, as this volcano was among the earlier ones to emerge above the sea. Mountain environment Because the volcano is dormant, the area around the crater is now filled with houses and overgrown with vegetation. The plant cover, like a green carpet, gives new life to the otherwise quiet volcano. Scenery along the way The crater is approx. 600m above sea level. To see it, you can charter a car to get there. The drive follows winding, rolling country roads into a quiet, upscale residential area, then continues up a steep slope to a parking lot. From there, you need to hike a steep trail to reach the rim of the crater. Scenery on the hike During the ascent you will pass pavilions, benches, and well-maintained lawns where visitors can rest or have a picnic. If you climb in the afternoon, you can enjoy a beautiful, romantic sunset. After following the steep path to the top, you can take in the surrounding scenery, with rolling mountains and lush green plains as far as the eye can see. Summit views The summit has railings you can hold onto, and you can clearly see that the crater is well preserved. Over time, rain and sediment have partially filled the crater. During the rainy season, a small pool forms at the bottom. In dry weather, the crater is dry. You can see dense thorny shrubs and trees growing on the crater walls, and the abundant vegetation gives the dormant volcano a green, living appearance. Without a guide's explanation, you might not realize this was once a violently erupting volcano. The area was once frequented by small deer, which is why it was called Trou Aux Cerfs, but today there are so many visitors that the deer have been scared away. From the high viewpoint, you can take photos and enjoy the distant views. Then walk down from the high point; a path to the right circles the crater, and from that path you can overlook Mauritius's central plains. Local vendors along the way sell souvenirs, so you can enjoy the scenery while browsing their local specialty items. Follow the path to the other side of the crater and you will find the same quiet, solemn sight. What was once a place where lava roared and surged in ancient times is now covered in lush vegetation. A natural vertical curtain of water still falls inward, a silvery waterfall hanging against the crater's green walls, creating a poetic scene. There are also some beautiful houses and gardens around the crater that you can visit. Afterward, you can go into town to experience local residents' way of life and enjoy their folk culture.Curepipe · 14.4 km from Tamarin

It's worth going. The giant tortoises, lions, and the last wild reserve, antelopes, and giraffes all look different from those in China. The foreign lady who exchanged the tickets was very responsible.

The volcanic terrain of Mauritius has created a natural landscape with a low mountain but strange shapes. The seven-colored soil in Chamarel was discovered by a Frenchman who was planting sugarcane fields here. Among the sugarcane fields here, only this piece of land is barren. After geologists went there to develop and study, this magical and magnificent seven-colored soil was revealed to the world.

Tamarin does not offer the clearest sea water but is one of the dolphins favorite morning spots. Book a kayaking tour from one of the local companies to bring you dolphin watching or explore Rivière Tamarin. An excellent way to see things from a different angle and travel more responsibly.

The Cape of the End of the Earth in Mauritius has many large reefs protruding from the sea on the coastline, forming irregular angles. Some are like natural lighthouses standing on the sea, and some are like two pliers extending deep into the sea. The scenery is very beautiful and worth a visit.

Mona Mountain is steep and extends to the sea. There are many resort hotels on the mountain. The beach is very beautiful, with white sand and warm sea water. I recommend wearing shoes when going to the sea, which is suitable for a leisure vacation

Looking from a distance on the Xiamar Plateau of Heihe Mountains, three waterfalls fall from the cliff, which is very spectacular. This is the first place of Mao Tour and one of the famous scenic spots. The waterfall is hanging on the cliff of a huge stone cave, more than 100 meters high. From a distance, we can see two fine white exercises, swaying with the wind and facing the scene. It really feels like flying down 3,000 feet. The scenery around Shamal Falls is beautiful, and the vegetation is very good.

Black River Gorges National Park is a very important national park in Mauritius. I came here during the rainy season. Although we couldn’t see far away, it had a different kind of hazy beauty. Because of the rain, there were fewer tourists and the entire national park was our world.

When you travel to Mauritius, you must go out to sea, and taking a catamaran is a very good choice. The catamaran is not only large, but also very stable. You can also see the spirit dolphins in the sea. They will surround your boat, jumping and tumbling as if to welcome everyone's arrival.

Deer Cave Crater is a famous attraction in Mauritius. The view from afar is very shocking, and I sigh at the power of nature. It is really simple and magical. It is said that this is a dead volcano, but it is magnificent and majestic! Very beautiful!

Because of the flight delay, we didn't arrive at our hotel near Port Louis until late at night. Although exhausted, we were amazed by the dawn in Port Louis. The distant rays of light broke through the pre-dawn darkness and surged toward us.
