Immerse into the peaceful greenery of Bel Ombre Nature Reserve during a 2-hour four-wheel-drive safari.

The nature reserve offers breath taking views of the natural wildlife in the south of Mauritius and its magnificent waterfalls. This beautiful and immense nature reserve is nestled between mountains and the sea and aims at protecting the rich biodiversity of the island.

Enjoy this safari in a 6-seater vehicle accompanied by a professional driver-guide, who shall ensure that the excursions are best enjoyed. The safari is safe for everyone and perfect for families and friends.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and was more than happy to answer any of our questions. The views were fabulous and our guide pointed out anything of interest. It was as bumpy as we expected!! We did see deer and wild boar piglets, along with bats and many birds. The walk to the waterfall wasn't too long but due to the rain was muddy and slippery underfoot so care was needed. The waterfall was beautiful. This tour isn't great for those with mobility issues and that should be stated.

The guide was great but needed to speak to the British customers as well as French.

Lovely time , and guide was very good.

Für Naturliebhaber empfehlenswert. Zum Baden im Wasserfall ist die Zeit zu kurz.

Från Tamarin för våran del så var transfer väldigt lång jämfört med upplevelsen. 2 tim transfer tor och två timmar upplevelse.

It’s was great! We travelled from the north so it did take about 2 hours (a lot caused by traffic) to get there, but it really wasn’t that bad as you got to see a lot of the island on the way down and driving through the mountains. The Safari and Zinu, our guide, were really good, we were out for about 2-2.5hrs, they can’t guarantee that you’ll see any animals (as it’s not a zoo) but we saw loads, I recommend hiking shoes for walk to the waterfall, it’s not far but can be slippy, but worth it!
