Embarking on a journey through La Vallée de Ferney offers more than a mere stroll: it promises an indelible experience in a one-of-a- kind setting, where the mesmerizing flora and fauna of Mauritius unfold before you.
La Valley de Ferney is a 200 hectare forest and wildlife reserve in the Bambou Mountains. Established in 2006 as a response to potential threats from a highway construction project, the reserve focuses on conserving and restoring the indigenous forests of the valley.
The reserve includes a stone museum, gardens with useful plants, a restaurant in a converted hunting lodge, giant tortoises, and a nursery selling endemic and endangered plant species, some rediscovered after presumed extinction. The reserve also safeguards endangered animal species such as the Mauritius Kestrel and the Mauritian flying fox, contributing significantly to conversation efforts in a region where less than 2% of indigenous ecosystems remain intact.
