La partie sur la passerelle est passionnante, ne la loupez surtout pas si vous aimez la flore !
Wir haben den Ausflug (ca. 2-3 Stunden) sehr genossen.
Prévoyez produit anti moustiques
La végétation rend la montée moins épuisante en période de forte chaleur
A faire absolument
Mais bonne condition physique nécessaire
Spot exceptionnel à l'arrivée
We were fortunate to see many birds including the Echo Parakeet thanks to the app "Birds of Mauritius". In this app, you can play bird songs and the real birds respond to those recordings.
It was extremely beautiful to welcome the sunset from the top view while enjoying cocktails and snacks.
Special thanks to our guide Jean Francois who educated and accompanied us with his friendly, sincere, and calm personality :)
Amazing day! Thank you Ebony forest!
Voor mij een bewustwording en zeer leerzame informatie over de geschiedenis.
Helaas hebben de Nederlanders vroeger veel aandeel gehad in het verwoesten van de natuur op Mauritius ????????????️
Gelukkig zijn de mensen nu heel hard aan het werk om de natuur en de dieren die nog wel in leven zijn te beschermen en te herplanten. ????????????Ook word natuur dat hier niet thuis hoort verwijderd om de natuur in ere te herstellen. ????
Respect ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Un immanquable pour des vacances sur cette île ????️
We thought we would first be taken into the forest by a guide, and then allowed to explore on our own. But there was no one available. So we found a guide after a short hike to the raised walkway. He then gave us a largely rote description (most of which was already on the information boards placed along the walkway), and the rest was more about the procedures rather than the species of birds and animals being saved from the brink of extinction. At the wildlife film room, the screen was blank and the room, empty. The museum had a lot of information but the room was musty because of which we couldn’t spend much time inside. Overall, it was evident that the reserve was established with a vision and a lot of effort went into creating it. But we felt the enthusiasm in running the daily operations is a bit lacking…
Our self-guided hike was good though – the view was great; and we saw a Mauritian flying fox, a Mascarene paradise-flycatcher, a couple of giant tortoises (up close in the wild!), and even two tropicbirds in the distance! The trails are marked. Hikers can click a photo of the route map and take the paths they wish to at their own leisure. It is highly recommended to carry mosquito repellent, water bottles (can be refilled at the Visitor centre), cap and sunscreen.
Alles in allem eine sehr empfehlenswerte kleine Wanderung durch einen ganz besonderen Wald! Jedem Vogelfreund dürfte das Herz aufgehen, wenn man den seltenen Mauritiusfalken erspäht, einen Maskarenenparadiesschnäpper oder einen Mauritiusolivbrillenvogel! Die Rosentauben haben sich nicht gezeigt, die haben wir aber an anderer Stelle beobachten können.
Die Ausblicke auf dem Wald an sich, die sich immer wieder bieten sind auch nicht zu verachten! Tolle Landschaft, die hoffentlich noch lange erhalten bleibt! Es lohnt sich!!!
Lieben Dank für den schönen Vormittag!
