La Vallée de Ferney

La Vallée de Ferney is a conservation area in southeast Mauritius where visitors can explore native forest and learn about local biodiversity. The park’s website describes guided walks led by guides who introduce visitors to endemic birds and plants, including the Mauritius kestrel and echo parakeet. It also lists self-guided hiking routes of different lengths, from an easier 5-kilometre trail to longer and more demanding options.

Guided visits must be booked in advance, and the operator specifies a minimum group size on its booking information. Trail durations and difficulty vary, so choose a route that fits your fitness and the day’s conditions. The park advises visitors to bring water, sun protection, insect repellent and suitable footwear. The reserve is in Old Grand Port; use its own directions to confirm the entrance and meeting point.
