Hello, you can reach Chamarel through Public transport, however from the Seven coloured earth gate, it's 3.5km to our reserve. You do not have any bus on this road.

Ebony forest in Mauritius is a reserve. It has an entrance fee and we paid for planting a tree.

Hi the road is very steep, a hard climb. It is a tar road so not too bumpy but you have to hold on tight as you will be shaken about. Steps at the beginning, steps during the tree walk, and a walk at the top.

Hello, Our forest restoration project is a long term project started in 2006 by Mr & Mrs Griffiths, our aim is to restore the native forest over the 50 Ha of the reserve, so far it is 14 Ha that have been restored. By restoring the forest, we have to keep the biodiversity present in the pristine forest of Mauritius. Hence we have been re-introducing the endemic birds of Mauritius namely the Pink pigeon and the Echo parakeet during the past year and the project is still in process. This project takes a really long time and this is why we opened to the public to make them aware of the importance of preserving our native forest, learn more about it and get the funding to continue the restoration work. We are open everyday to the public.

The ticket includes a jeep tour and a guide for the initial and more flora-rich part of the tour. Then it is self-discovery for the rest of the park. I think it is a good formula. Non-resident ticket price is about 12/6 Euros per adult / child (3-12 years).

Hello, you can still use the jeeps for the kids, which is included in our ticket price. Our raised walkways are accessible even if not equipped with hiking gears.
