Explore Ebony Forest Reserve in Chamarel, Mauritius. Discover native forests, rare birds, scenic hiking trails, and stunning views of Le Morne and the west coast.

Located in the beautiful village of Chamarel in southwest Mauritius, the Ebony Forest Reserve is a unique eco-tourism destination dedicated to restoring the island’s native forest and protecting its biodiversity. This protected reserve allows visitors to explore one of the last remaining areas of indigenous forest in Mauritius through well-marked nature trails surrounded by rare endemic plants and wildlife. The reserve is also a great place for birdwatching, with species such as the Pink Pigeon, Mauritius Kestrel, and Echo Parakeet often spotted in the forest. One of the highlights is the Sublime Point viewpoint, offering breathtaking panoramic views over Chamarel, Le Morne Brabant, and the west coast lagoon. Located near popular attractions like the Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth and Chamarel Waterfall, the Ebony Forest Reserve is a must-visit for travelers who want to discover the natural beauty and unique ecosystems of Mauritius.
