Hiking through Mauritius’ Black River Gorges is like stepping into a lush, vibrant paradise. It’s a nature-lover’s dream, with dense forests, colourful plants, and critters that call this place home. As you stroll along the paths, you’ll be serenaded by the chirping birds and the rustling leaves, it’s like a secret symphony just for you.

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.
