Conservation, awareness and protection area sheltering one of the last endemic forests of Mauritius
A must-see, this conservation, awareness and protection area is home to one of the last endemic forests in Mauritius, remarkable for its ebony trees. Discover this fascinating ecosystem on an easy 25-minute guided walk, which also includes a small museum and a tree nursery. With a little more time, you can reach a 300-meter-long observation deck for a guided forest immersion, followed or not by one or more marked treks enabling you, if you're lucky, to observe endemic birds (Pink Pigeon, Grosse Cateau verte...) and giant tortoises. Those who don't want to walk too much can opt for the 2-hour guided jeep safari, which takes you from one point of interest to another, and in particular to Sublime Point : an observation platform with a café, offering a literally sublime panoramic view of the whole of West Mauritius, the mountain ranges and the surrounding countryside. A magical moment of contemplation while sipping a fresh juice and nibbling a few snacks.
From here, you can take a 45-minute round-trip hike (maximum) to the summit of Piton Canot and its 360-degree view.
The estate also offers a number of exclusive activities on reservation, such as birdwatching walks, private tours, sunset with drinks and snacks, and more.
Each of these tours and activities contributes to funding the various conservation projects run by Ebony Forest.

C'était un moment très sympa! Peut-être à privilégier plutôt dans l'été pour espérer avoir certain arbres en fleurs.
Nous avons eu la chance d'être suivis presque tout du long par de charmants petits oiseaux curieux.
Je vous recommande l'expérience en 4x4, à moins que vous ayez de très bonnes conditions physiques !!!
Le clou du spectacle tout en haut, en vaut vraiment la peine ...
Ps: prévoyez de l'anti-moustiques !!!
Par contre prendre impérativement la balade en 4x4 sinon vous allez devoir marcher pendant plusieurs heures et avec un dénivelé important !
Et vous prendre donc le risque de ne pas aller tout en haut et donc de rater l'essentiel....
Le lieu est top on se promène au milieu de la jungle. Le guide sympa. Les oiseaux sont nombreux.
Le panorama tout en haut est à couper le souffle et rien que pour lui mérite le détour. Je pense sincèrement que c'est le meilleur panorama de l'île.
