Tourist Attractions nearest to Bambous
Dolphin Watch
- Their innate connection to humans has made dolphins one of the most fascinating sea creatures. Most often seen in the West of Mauritius and in groups of four or five, the dolphins are more than happy to perform their ballet in the water, as they ride alongside the boat!
The Casela Leisure and Nature 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 different 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.
- Its natural setting, spacious layout and luxuriant vegetation also makes it a popular spot.
- Situated in the Rivière Noire district, the bird park stretches over 25 hectares and contains more than 140 bird species from all five continents. Other attractions include fish ponds, tigers, tortoises, monkeys, deer and orchids.
The Black River Gorges is a 6,574 hectare park proclaimed natural reserve in 1994.
- It protects much of the remaining indigenous forests of Mauritius and provides an excellent opportunity to visitors to enjoy a wonderful hiking with spectacular scenery and also an occasion to appreciate some of the unique endemic plants and birdlife of Mauritius.
- The gorges have immensely contributed to the regeneration of some endangered endemic bird species like the Mauritian Kestrel and the Pink Pigeon.
- Bird species like the Mauritius parakeet, Mauritius cuckoo-shrike, Mauritius bulbul, Mauritius olive white-eye, Mauritius grey white-eye and Mauritius fody can be found there.
- The National Park is easily accessible from Vacoas or Curepipe via La Marie and Mare aux Vacoas.
- A visitor information centre has been set up at Le Pétrin to welcome and direct visitors and also to provide picnic facilities.
- A boardwalk leads to the typical dwarf forest of the region and a fenced conservation management area (from which invasive non-native plants have been removed) protects a sample of the remaining heathland. From there, various hiking tracks are offered and visitors can choose to walk to Maccabée forest (7km return) or down through the Gorges to Black River (15km) from the road across Plaine Champagne towards Chamarel where there is easy access to viewpoints at Alexandra Falls, over Bel Ombre and over the spectacular Black River Gorges.
- There are also a number of longer walking trails including one to the island's highest point, Black River Peak ( 828m).
- Road access into the Black River Gorges from the coast road has been upgraded and offers a Visitor Centre as well as a camping area.
- The forest-clad slopes of the gorges and the Maccabé Forest nearby contain some interesting specimens of indigenous timber, namely the Bois de Natte, Colophane, Ebony, Tatamaka or Tambalacoque, as well as fine plants peculiar to the island such as the Trochetia, the national flower of Mauritius.
