I was born and raised in Mauritius, since an early age I have been involved in tourism. Through the years I’ve seen Mauritius grow as a world-renowned destination for our beautiful sea side resorts and pristine beaches and that is all, pretty much.
As a local, I knew there was more Mauritius could offer to a traveller. I wanted to introduce Mauritius to visitors as a local friend would do, the authentic way so that they too could see all the beauty in nature, traditions and landscapes that only locals know.
Rising dramatically from the Indian Ocean in Mauritius, Le Morne Brabant is a historic basaltic mountain that doubles as a challenging adventure for hikers. Its slopes harbour stories of escaped slaves, offering both a strenuous trek and panoramic ocean views, creating a powerful link to the island’s past and natural beauty.
