Activity overview
Discover South Mauritius beyond the beach.
The Day Package at Bel Ombre Nature Reserve is designed for travellers who want to spend a memorable day in the wild south of Mauritius, combining nature, adventure, relaxation and local discovery in one experience. Set in the beautiful landscapes of Domaine de Bel Ombre, these day packages offer a complete way to enjoy the reserve without rushing from one activity to another.
The Bel Ombre Wilderness Tour is a 5-hour nature experience that begins with a guided one-hour walk through forest trails. After the walk, guests relax in a private Picnic Pod designed by Nomadic Resorts, surrounded by nature and the sound of Frédérica Waterfall. The experience includes a Mauritian picnic with adult, vegetarian and kids’ menu options, plus traditional games such as Mölkky, pétanque, card games and dominoes. This package is available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 09:30 to 15:00.
The Bel Ombre Off the Track Tour offers a more adventurous full-day option. It starts with a 2-hour eco quad ride through the reserve’s forest scenery, followed by an à la carte lunch at Lakaz Mama at Kaz’alala with a 20% discount. The day ends with a visit to the World of Seashells, the largest seashell museum in Africa. This tour is available daily at 09:30.
Whether you prefer a peaceful nature picnic or a more active quad biking adventure, the Day Package at Bel Ombre Nature Reserve is one of the best ways to experience Bel Ombre in a complete and meaningful way.
