    Ile aux Aigrettes

    Posted by PeteA 7 June 2006

    This beautiful nature reserve is 1km offshore in Mahébourg bay. Run by the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF), it is a great place to see the critically endangered flora and fauna of Mauritius and to get up close to a giant tortoise. The guided tours also allow an insight into the ongoing efforts of MWF to restore the habitat of the island.

    This beautiful destination is well worth a day out and what's more, all proceeds go to aid MWF in its ongoing conservation efforts.

    Numerous boats depart from Mahébourg
