Guided Tour

Amongst the few endemic forests that remain in Mauritius, the Ferney
Conservation Park is known to be a true sanctuary and a real beacon for
Mauritian biodiversity, considered one of the richest in the world.

A guided tour at
La Vallée de Ferney

is a must activity for nature lovers.
Our expert and passionate guides
will lead you to discover the kestrel
bird, the emblematic pink pigeon
and even the Mauritian echo
parakeet. You will also stumble
upon ebony wood, the bois clou,
takamaka trees and many other
indigenous species.

A hotspot of rich biodiversity, La Vallée de
Ferney has attracted scientists, biologists
and ecologists from the world over so as to
spearhead research programmes and
reintroduction projects.

As a result of their efforts, it has become a
sanctuary for certain species once considered
endangered. For instance, the kestrel bird has
been saved from extinction. In 1974, only four
birds of this species had been identified…
Today, there are almost 600 that can be
admired every day from within the valley.

WHY CHOOSE
A GUIDED TOUR
OF LA VALLÉE
DE FERNEY

Our guides will be relating their bountiful knowledge
and anecdotes on the fauna and flora of the
valley. Here are three of the tips they would like to
share with you:

Keep your eyes open to what may come your
way on your trek: don’t be surprised if you
come across a deer, a boar, bats or rare
endemic birds on your path!
The most beautiful encounters don’t always
happen by chance. Look out for when the
clock strikes noon and meet us at the Wildlife
Sanctuary: you might come across the
Mauritian kestrel bird out for a feed.
Don’t forget to be comfortably and
appropriately dressed and equipped while
exploring nature: a cap or a hat, mosquito
repellent, water, sneakers/sport shoes and a
helmet if need be – are some of the must-haves
while out there.

Several sessions are available daily
(booking is mandatory, minimum of 2 participants):

9.30 a.m | 1.30 p.m

Price for Mauritius and local residents:
Rs 500 per adult

Rs 350 per children (5 to 12 years old)
