3.Casela Nature Parks Entrance Ticket with Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 14 reviews · 7 hours · from $255

Spend up to seven hours at Casela Nature Parks on Mauritius’s west coast, with hotel pickup, park entry, an African Safari Truck Tour, aviary walk, wildlife viewing, and the Tulawaka Gold Coaster. Your English or French-speaking driver handles the transfer, while extra activities and meals cost more.

“This activity feels like a tourist trap. The entrance ticket for the nature park (which is essentially a zoo) is only around 30 EUR, so the tour price is extremely overpriced. We completed the whole park in about 2.5 hours, including a 1-hour slow open-truck safari where you see some freely walking zebras, impalas and a few giraffes from a distance. If you still want to visit, I strongly recommend going on your own instead of booking this tour. The staff at the park are extremely friendly and helpful, and it’s very easy to manage everything yourself. For two people, we could have done the same experience for around 100–150…”

4.Private Full Day Tour with Entry Tickets & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 12 reviews

Spend about eight hours exploring southwest Mauritius with a private bilingual driver-guide. Visit Trou aux Cerfs, Grand Bassin, Alexandra Falls, Chamarel, and the Seven Coloured Earth, with a Mauritian lunch included. Guides such as Sadick can adjust the day to suit your priorities.

“The tour takes you to places that are definitely worth seeing. However, since due to road works (which have been going on for months now) access to Chamarel requires a different and longer route, and this means having to make a choice by giving up one of the destinations included in the tour program due to time constraints, I would find it appropriate and correct that in the description of the activity all this was clearly explained (and not communicated with a message after the deadline for canceling the reservation free of charge)”
