Bel Ombre - Mauritius

This beautiful natural area is dominated by rolling hills and green valleys, take a walk along one of the many nature trails that meander into the dense forest, the reserve is run by the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation and a visit is a must to see a completely different aspect of this fascinating island. A number of other ingredients make the area particularly special; the wonderful sandy beaches that stretch along the coast and the Golf du Chateau, a challenging international standard 18 hole golf course. Bel Ombre is the name of a plantation founded by Charles Telfair who enhanced the region with his social and botanical innovations – the name Bel Ombre originates from a Sweetwater fish “the ombre” found in waters off this coast.
