La Vanille Nature Park, Riviere des Anguilles

Great nature park. I think walking amongst the giant turtles was my favourite. Saw feeding time for the crocodiles. In awe and terrified at the same time. See my videos and pictures. Resident ticket also includes Rs 200 voucher on certain refreshments. The insect museum was mind-blowing with all the different types of bugs. You can stroke and take pictures when they take out the iguana. Slightly disappointed that the keeper didn't engage with the visitors. Would have been nice to hear some details about the animal: name, age, interesting facts etc .. Instead he spent all the time talking to a fellow keeper. The park isn't massive. We were here for about 2.5hrs. Highly recommend a visit.

It was a beautiful experience to be able to be so close to these sweet giant turtles, to be able to feed them and to pet them. It was also very nice to eat a delicious crocodile meat in the restaurant. Delicious with vanilla sauce (not kidding). The turtles seemed to have sufficient space, with partial freedom but the other spaces were in small cages which I always find difficult to watch (monkeys, deers, crocodiles, eel, bats, ...).

Great Crocodile and turtle Park with a lot more animals within the area. The kids really liked the huge Fruit Bats, bat also 😉 feeding the turtle and the on display show of a leguan. Restaurant was also greatly located in the jungle and had good options for both small and big kids If you have a day to do something special - get here.

Just fantastic. One of better place we have visited during our Mauritius trip. You can spend time with giant turtles and feedback them which is a great experience. You can see those Animals in many spots on island but not so close and in such nice manner. They take care of turtles and help recreating this species on island. Try to be there at 11 on crocodile feeling. This is a great experience as well.

This is the coolest park for the sole reason you can touch and ride the biggest Tortoise in the world. It is a show stealer. Get a free guide but do tip him if you find the service great. Mine was really knowledgeable and I learned a lot from him. You can also interact w other animals, check the interaction time. Do come protected, the mosquitoes are abound.
