Mauritius, the green island in the Indian Ocean, is a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers. The island's national parks, such as the Black River Gorges National Park and the Bras d'Eau National Park, are characterized by their exceptional beauty and biodiversity. These protected areas are home to many rare animal and plant species found nowhere else in the world. The crown jewel of Mauritian natural landscape, the Black River Gorges National Park covers two percent of the island and offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities with over 50 kilometers of hiking trails. Mauritius' highest point, the Black River Peak, offers spectacular views and makes the park a popular destination for hikers. In the northeast of Mauritius lies the Bras d'Eau National Park, which impresses not only with its natural beauty but also with its historical heritage. Here, visitors will find ancient ruins and an impressive variety of bird species, including the Mauritius falcon and the Mauritian paradise flycatcher. The hiking trails lead through lush forests and offer many opportunities for bird watching. The Islets National Park covers eight of the 49 islands surrounding Mauritius, including Île d'Ambre. These islands are known for their dense mangrove forests and diverse vegetation, which are home to rare wildlife such as endemic butterflies and the Mauritius White-eye. Efforts to preserve and restore these habitats contribute significantly to conservation in Mauritius. Mauritius' national parks not only offer stunning landscapes, but are also important protected areas for flora and fauna. Visitors can book guided tours and birdwatching walks with biologists to experience the island's natural treasures up close.
