black river gorges national park - mauritius

Black River Gorges National Park is Mauritius’ largest and most scenic nature reserve, offering an exceptional experience for clients seeking adventure, wildlife or simply a deep connection with nature. With over 60 km of trails winding through rainforest, waterfalls and dramatic gorges, the park caters to all levels – from avid hikers to leisure travellers and families.

For active clients, the Black River Peak Trail is a highlight, leading to the island’s highest point at 828 metres with panoramic views across the island. The Parakeet Trail offers opportunities to spot rare endemic species like the Echo Parakeet and Pink Pigeon, while the 10 km Macchabée Forest Loop combines lush forest and breathtaking lookouts.

At a gentler pace, the Alexandra Falls Trail and Mare Longue Loop provide beautiful, low-impact options perfect for photography and birdwatching. Leisure travellers and families will enjoy routes like the Mare aux Joncs and Plateau Remousse loops, which offer rich natural scenery without demanding physical effort.

Tailored guided hikes are available and highly recommended, adding value with expert insight into the park’s unique biodiversity and conservation efforts.
