How to Unwind in Beautiful Places with Holidays to Mauritius
by Daisy Wilkinson Travel GuidesA charming island country situated in the Indian
Ocean, Mauritius is popular worldwide for its crystal-clear blue waters and
white-sand beaches. It is also favoured by many tourists arriving from
different parts of the globe for its elegant resorts that are well-complemented
with refreshing spas, stylish rooms, and world-class restaurants. Today,
wildlife tourism in this part of the world is gradually becoming popular owing
to the presence of some unique species of birds and animals in this island
nation. You'll also get to taste some mouth-watering varieties of the local
cuisine during your time spent in Mauritius.
During your holidays
to Mauritius, you'll get the opportunity to visit the country's most
fascinating attractions. Among them is the Mauritius Botanical Garden, which is
also known as Pamplemousses Botanical Garden and Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam
Botanical Garden. It is located near the capital city of Port Louis and is home
to some amazing plants like giant water lilies, sugar canes, spices, and
different varieties of palms from many of the American, African, and Asian
countries. This botanical garden also has trees that have been planted by
members of royal families and world leaders, such as Indira Gandhi, Robert
Mugabe, and Princess Margaret.
Your cheap
holidays to Mauritius would also allow you to explore the Black River
Gorges National Park. It covers a vast area of more than 67 square kilometres
and was proclaimed as a national park in the year 1994. Most of the remaining
rainforest of the island country is protected by this park. It is home to
Mauritian flying fox, Mauritius kestrel, Mauritius parakeet, and many other
endemic species. Many of the spaces have been fenced to provide protection to
the native wildlife from the invasive flora and fauna. While exploring this
national park, you'll come across a couple of information centres that have
been provided for the visitors. You'll also find several kilometres of trails
and picnic areas.
The Seven Coloured Earths are also visited by plenty
of tourists every year during their holidays
to Mauritius. This astonishing geological formation is found in the
south-western part of the country. Although it is a small area of sand dunes,
you can witness seven distinct colours of sands upon visiting this place. The
red, brown, purple, violet, yellow, blue, and green sands have settled in this
area, which creates a surreal view of striped colouring. In recent times, these
dunes have been protected by a fence and visitors are not allowed to get on
them.
Located off the south-eastern coast of the country is
an islet called Ile aux Aigrettes. It occupies a total area of 27 hectares and
is the Grand Port bay's largest islet. This particular place is home to a large
variety of extremely rare species of animals and plants and is the only
remaining part of the Mauritius Dry Coastal Forest. Logging and destruction by
the invasive species led to the extinction of several indigenous flora and
fauna, including the Dodo. In recent times, the Aldabra giant tortoise has been
brought to this islet to rejuvenate the forest naturally.
