BlackRiver District

The Black River Gorge National Park is spread over an area of 6, 574 hectares and is one of the largest national parks in Mauritius. The Black River Gorges area of Mauritius is famed as a bird watchers' paradise, with thousands of bird species inhabiting the highlands of the national park. The Black River Gorges region was declared a national park in 1994.This is a popular area for nature watchers with panoramic views across the gorges, with vistas and waterfalls. You will see the peaks of Rempart Mountain and Corps de Garde. Keen bird watchers will have the opportunity to see the most threatened birds such as the Echo Parakeet, the Mauritian Pink Pigeon and the Mauritian Kestrel.For serious nature lovers this is a must see place and even in our brief time there, we came across native Mauritians walking and jogging there.

Chamarel, situated in the south west of Mauritius, offers the most beautiful and charming look: the Coloured Earths. Composed of seven colours (red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow), this phenomenon has never been explained but it is believed the earths are composed of mineral rich volcanic ash. People, from wide across the world, travel down to Chamarel Falls and the Colored Earths in Mauritius to praise the magical beauty of nature. These unique landmasses were formed of the volcanic eruptions. After the eruption occurred, the temperature dropped with time leaving multiple shades on the surface of the rocks.

The Casela Bird Park, set in magnificent surroundings between Bambous and Tamarine in the Riviere Noire district, is an ideal getaway for both seasoned and amateurish ornithologists or the bird watchers located in Mauritius. The Casela Bird Park lies in the Black River Gorges area of Mauritius. It is a major bio diversity hotspot and is rich in varied flora and fauna. The Casela Bird Park, a beautiful garden and bird sanctuary of some 25 acres, is situated in the west part of the island Mauritius near the small village Flic en Flac. Almost 2500 birds of 140 differnet species are housed in some 90 aviaries. For example the Mauritian Pink Pigeon, one of the rarest birds in the world, can be seen here. Casela also houses other animals such as tigers, monkeys, lemurs, deer and giant tortoises, etc… The lush palm trees, the many kinds of tropical plants that are a nesting place for the birds also add to the charms of the Park. With so many bird species from all over the world nesting and breeding in a single spot, Casela is obviously an ornithologist's delight.

One of the majestic and romantic attractions in the evening is the Sunset at the western coastal region of Mauritius. Watching the sun which is slowly disappearing below the horizon, brings a wonderful view on the sun disappearing slowly, leaving a romantic view on the sea which gives a romantic and an exquisite charm to the atmosphere…and the sky…turning slowly to yellow… orange…purple… leaving the place to a long night life for other attractions in the wonderful paradise of Mauritius Island…
