A Memorable Mauritius Escape: The Bamnyal Family’s Ultimate Travel Guide
Well!! Warm & Welcoming
Mauritius greeted us with its signature perfect mild cold tropical climate, which is really unique when we compare it warm tropical spaces, making it ideal for beach lovers and adventure seekers alike. The sun shined bright, while occasional sea breezes made our coastal walks and island explorations even more pleasant. Whether you’re relaxing by the beach or heading out for an excursion, the Mauritius weather ensures a perfect balance of warmth and comfort.

Walking with Lions at Casela Nature Park: A Must-Do Adventure
One of the top attractions in Mauritius, Casela Nature Park, was the highlight of our trip! Walking with lions was an exhilarating experience—being up close to these majestic big cats was both thrilling and humbling. The expert guides ensured our safety while allowing us to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural environment. If you’re an adventure enthusiast, walking with lions in Mauritius is an unmissable bucket-list experience!
Mauritius Food: A Mixed Bag of Experiences
Food is an essential part of travel, and our experience in Mauritius was a bit of a letdown in this aspect. Authentic local Mauritian cuisine was surprisingly difficult to find, as most restaurants catered heavily to tourists with standard international dishes.
Our stay at The Residence Mauritius was luxurious, offering breathtaking ocean views and a serene atmosphere, but unfortunately, the food there did not match the grandeur of the resort. On the other hand, Heritage Awali stood out with its well-curated dining experience, providing a much more satisfying culinary treat. If you’re visiting Mauritius, be sure to research dining options carefully to make the most of your food journey.
Togo Ride at Les Vallée des Couleurs Park: Adrenaline at Its Best
For thrill-seekers, Les Vallée des Couleurs Nature Park is a must-visit destination in Mauritius. The Togo ride—a unique and heart-racing adventure—was one of the most exciting activities we experienced. Gliding down the track at high speed while soaking in panoramic views of Mauritius was truly unforgettable! If you’re into adventure sports, this nature park offers various adrenaline-pumping activities to satisfy your inner explorer.

Meeting the Giant Tortoises: A Heartwarming Experience
Mauritius is famous for its giant tortoises, and meeting these gentle giants was one of the most heartwarming parts of our trip. These slow-moving, wise-looking creatures exuded a sense of calm and curiosity. Feeding them and observing their relaxed lifestyle was an experience unlike any other, perfect for nature lovers and families traveling with kids.
Is Mauritius Worth Visiting?
Mauritius is a paradise with breathtaking scenery, thrilling wildlife experiences, and luxurious resorts. While our food experience was a bit disappointing, the natural beauty and adventure activities made up for it. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a family vacation, or an adventure-filled holiday, Mauritius offers a little something for everyone. Would we visit again? Absolutely—with a better plan for food and dining!
If you’re planning your Mauritius trip, prioritize Casela Nature Park, Les Vallée des Couleurs, and a stay at Heritage Awali for an unforgettable vacation. Mauritius, you were truly a tropical gem!
