Nature activities in the South of Mauritius

Frédérica Nature Reserve

Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort offers its guests access to the Frédérica Nature Reserve which - besides the exceptional character of its landscapes, is home to unique and protected fauna and flora.

Covering an area of 1 300 hectares the nature reserve rises to 400m above the sea, where a mixture of dry forest and coastal rainforest is to be found. The unique views, combining hilly landscapes, rolling plains and waterfalls (including the highest waterfall of the island, 162 meters high), deer breeding and an astonishing biodiversity of flora and fauna have enabled the development of tourism activities in harmony with nature.

Nature Activities:

• Hiking
• Quad Biking
• Guided & Pedagogic Tours
• Talks
• Pedagogic Tours in 4X4
• Treks

The Concept of Frédérica :

• To combine information and enjoyment while exploring the flora, fauna and history of the place in the company of trained guides.

• To willingly take responsibility for the conservation of this natural heritage (only 1.9% of the original indigenous forest still exists on the island).

• To protect and preserve the flora and fauna with the collaboration of well-known Mauritian organisations including the Mauritius Wildlife Foundation (MWF)
